Lockdown Blues Stage 2021 – Day 1
An easy way to discover new hand picked blues.
Up to 12 tracks from 6 artists who would usually be performing now at small venues and festivals.
Sadly they are not (quite yet). But…
instead we have a virtual stage, screen & studio to watch, listen and discover your new favourite.
And it won’t cost you anything.

Non subscribers to Spotify: SIGN UP TO SPOTIFY FREE
You will hear 30 sec samples, but signup for a free Spotify account and you can hear full tracks with Spotify ads.
How to hear full length tracks – just 2 steps:
Note: DO NOT CLICK ON THE ‘PLAY ON SPOTIFY’ BUTTON
that appears after a few seconds of playing
Click here if you want to find out why
It’s a hassle… well ok you could click it but that will try to launch the Spotify app and if you don’t have the app you’ll need to install etc and you will end up listening to the playlist in the Spotify app and there is no need to do all that.
Better and simpler instead to listen here and take a look at the rest of the festival site while you listen we think. Insert our happy smily faces here.
Instead follow 2 simple steps:
STEP 1 : With your free (or premium) Spotify account login to the SPOTIFY WEB PLAYER THEN RETURN HERE for the next simple step.
(note: the Spotify web player is NOT AVAILABLE ON THE SAFARI BROWSER so either switch browsers or listen via the Stage or Screen tabs above instead.)
STEP 2 : Once logged in, come back here and click this reload Spotify button
That’s All: Your good to go. Just click the Spotify Play button on this page and listen to full tracks.
HEAR FULL TRACKS :
Login to the Spotify Web Player (not the app): once logged in RETURN HERE
Then click this reload button followed by the play icon to hear full length tracks
Sorry! On Mobile and Tablet the only way to listen to full length tracks from Spotify is on the Spotify App. Boo!
psst – Listen on a desktop/laptop computer for full tracks without an app (yay!)
or better still watch using our stage or screen options above.
Still want to play on the mobile/tablet Spotify app? Keep reading…
Click the play icon. After a few seconds the ‘Get Spotify’ or ‘Play on Spotify’ button will appear – click that and follow the Spotify prompts. You’ll end up playing the days lineup in the Spotify app.
Please come back here to leave a comment on your favourites.
