The Blues Caravan is on a roll. Now in its 10th triumphant year, Ruf’s touring showcase of new talent is sticking with the winning formula that has made it an institution. One stage. Three artists on the brink of greatness. And a crowd strapped in for the night of their lives.

With an illustrious roll call of past alumni including Ana Popovic, Oli Brown and Joanne Shaw Taylor, the Blues Caravan has always been a golden ticket to catch the scene’s next-big-things before they explode onto the world stage. Now, with the 2014 lineup of Albert Castiglia, Laurence Jones and Christina Skjolberg shaking up an international cocktail of talent from the US, the UK and Europe, the only place to be is down the front.
