The final was a close contest with six acts in total: The Andy Layfield Sound, John Williams Doubleshot Blues Band, Matt Dwyer & The Magnatones, Paulie Bignell & The Thornbury Two and Le Toot Ensemble, along with Dreamboogie. Judges in both the Heats and Final were challenged by the high calibre of all ten entrants and MBAS was pleased to have PBS Radio Presenters Matthew Frederick as one of the judges in a Heat and Helen Jennings in the Final judging panel of five.
Dreamboogie will travel to Memphis, along with Miss Whiskey, the winners of the Solo/Duo category, in January 2016 to compete in the International Blues Challenge 2016.
A fundraiser event will be held for Dreamboogie on 17th January 2016. More details to come.
We wish both acts every success in Memphis.
