Blues Matters! represents every aspect of the Blues with all the seriousness, humour, depth, belief, and enthusiasm it deserves. By doing so, we bring together the music, artists, publications, creators, industry, and fans, who enjoy, and therefore help sustain, the Blues for further generations.

Each issue offers a refreshing blend of information, fact, honesty, and humour. Blues Matters! brings a wide-range of topics to our readers with exciting and diverse content.

The trial issue features an interview with singer Bonnie Bramlett, Carol Borrington talks to guitarist and singer Joanne Shaw Taylor after her six year gap from the centre stage and Kevin Wharton investigates the life and music of the “Empress of the Blues”, Bessie Smith.

Regular features include the latest news from the Blues world; CD, book and DVD reviews; a guide to the best festivals, live gigs and events around the country as well as a look at your letters to the editor.
