Welcome to Rock & Blues News!
We are a NEW FREE online music website for anyone who enjoys discovering great new artists alongside bands and singers you already know and love. We mainly feature rock and blues artists, but from time to time you'll get folk, jazz, singer songwriters, acoustic and soul acts too....we like to ve ecclectic in our tastes!
The initial idea for the website was born out of our lifelong passion for good old fashioned Rock & Roll and our love of live music. When we were teenagers we wanted to own a record shop, be in a band, host a radio show or write for the music press.....Now we are music fans "of a certain age" we just want to share our love of gig going, photograph-taking & experiencing the best sounds around.

We write all the features & reviews in our spare time and we'll continue to do this for as long as we can. We are not here to make money - any revenue we do earn from our affiliates stores or from advertising banners is spent on our running and maintance costs. By purchasing any item securely from one of our affiliate stores, you can do your own little bit to help keep us online!

We welcome guest reviewers & contributors- if you've got your own music blog or YouTube Channel and want to be a guest gig/CD reviewer or submit live videos/pics of gigs you've been to - get in touch on our contact page and send us your links.
