That history has been reignited this year with the ‘West End Blues’ event series
that culminates in the upcoming ‘West End Blues Festival’ on Saturday October 26 at Ahepa Hall. In a joint effort between BASEQ, the artists & Club Limbo, some of Brisbane’s sharpest blues personalities and their bands will share the stage for a fantastic day & night session.
