There is a new blue haze coming over the ocean to make landfall in Pembrokeshire - the first Tenby Blues Festival will take place over the weekend of November 10th-12th.

Co-ordinated and promoted by Tenby Events in partnership with Tenby Chamber of Trade and Span Arts, this exciting new festival will feature a host of local and international artists in concert and hosting workshops at venues all over the town.

The festival launch event takes place at Tenby Rugby Club next Wednesday from 8pm.

It features the first appearance in Wales of outstanding American bluesman Doug MacCleod (pictured), supported by Tenby performers Al Davey and Ella Guru.

Advance tickets cost £6 from 01834 843568, or call in at the De Valence, Upper Frog Street, Tenby.

Span Arts organiser, Declan Connolly, said "Doug MacLeod is a critically acclaimed blues performer and this event will be a taster for the marvellous festival we are planning for this Autumn in Tenby."
