EAST WEST TAKE THREE!

Sunday 28th February 2027!
EAST WEST BLUES FEST!
DRYGATE BREWERY - GLASGOW

EARLY BIRDS OUT NOW!

Finalising has begun, the venue is booked.
Most acts are ready to announce! 

As per the last two years, this is about fantastic music, all day long. No huge headliner taking half the budget, but top notch bands and musicians from the start, with every player paid fairly. It's worked really well, and we love you for it. 💙

DRUM ROLL! ... as things roll out, we appear to have a bit of collaboration as a running theme for 2027! 

RUNNING ORDER TBC

THE TAJWIZZ COOKBOOK

In a career spanning over four decades, guitarist Taj Wyzgowski has performed and collaborated with music legends including John Martyn, Bonnie Raitt, Daryl Hall, Jack Bruce, and many others. Joined by Nico Bruce on bass, Jim Walker on drums, and Foss Paterson on keyboards, the band delivers with blues at its core. Shuffling, swinging, and funking its way through a range of musical styles and emotions.

AL BROWN & THE BLUELIGHTERS (+!*)

Back by popular demand, so many people have requested the return of this wonderful band. Tasty, authentic electric blues, fronted by Scotland's purest bluesman, Al. *AND (+) we have the WONDERFUL news that the Bluelighters will be joined by exceptional Glasgow vocalist, Violet Leighton. 

BROKEN WINDOWS ~ Blue!

I (Liz) have been thrilled at the support for Broken Windows to return to East West. I avoided us playing last year to not be the booker that 'get's her band a gig', but we have just confirmed our dear friend Al Brown joining us for a extra jazzy version of our roots-rock assortments. Delighted!

THE PERCEPTOS

A groove-driven instrumental trio where 60s soundtrack cool meets the raw twang of surf guitar and the dancefloor drive of vintage R&B. Featuring members of Imelda May, The Boogaloo Investigators and The Strange Blue Dreams. For fans of Booker T. & the M.G.'s and Dick Dale. Drawing on the golden age of cinematic rock’n’roll, vintage R&B and spaghetti western soundtracks, a jukebox of old school classics.

We hope to add one more act, TBC pending chats & diary checks!

We are able to maintain the ticket prices from last year:  Early Birds from £21, Standard £26.50, Doors £32. Again, we are not adding a booking fee, which we are able to absorb because Ticket Tailor remain brilliant value.

💿 AGAIN we will have the wee record fair, to further torture your wallet! 💿

Blue Bounty Events is just me (Liz). This is my way of giving something back to Scottish live music, which has welcomed and homed me for 15 years. It's bloody great here.

East West is for lovers of:
Roots music
Blues music
Relaxed venues
Everyone welcome atmosphere!

2027 T-SHIRTS COMING SOON!
All profits go towards event costs.

VENUE PRACTICALITIES
https://www.drygate.com/
The Drygate Brewery Venue is truly superb. It's just OUTSIDE the LEZ zone if you have an old banger. Clearly the beer is fantastic. It's a big room with mixed informal seating and standing, there will be many seats for those who prefer them, and we recommend coming for door time if you do.

If you are unable to stand or could not attend without a dedicated seat for the day, we can certainly reserve seats for your piece of mind. Please get in touch.

The venue will suit most accessibility needs. Please contact them directly if you have a specific enquiry about access to the venue.

Food! Peaks Bar will be serving food, within the building.
