The Great Southern Blues Festival, which takes over Narooma on the South Coast of New South Wales each year, is back this October with a suitably bluesy lineup.

This year’s theme for the festival is ‘Get Your Mojo Working’, and the first round of artists will do just that. There’s American harmonica master Phil Wiggins, sharing the stage with The Backsliders’ Dom Turner, plus Sandi Thom, who you’ll remember for the ‘I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)’ earworm.

Ash Grunwald is also on the bill, as are Steve Edmonds, The Black Sorrows, Ali Penny & The Money Makers and The Montgomery Brothers.

The Great Southern Blues Festival will be held at Smyth Oval, Narooma from Friday October 3 – Sunday October 5.
