West Coast Blues n Roots 2007 – update

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

The weather report is fine (27 Saturday, 25 Sunday), the line-up times have changed a bit, but it’s alllll goooood! It looks like we’re going to have a great weekend of Blues n Roots music in Fremantle! Keep an eye on my original post for last minute updates! And there’s still some Saturday tickets left!

There’s even going to be free blues n roots music all over Fremantle (including the CAT busses!!) as part of the Fringe Festival on Saturday and Sunday from midday!

Sunset Events are recommending taking the train to Fremantle, as it’s going to be busy! And people going the whole weekend need to keep their wristbands on, and can’t swap them with others.
