Blues, Brews and BBQs 2023 was a one-day Blues Festival at Tumut which is west of Canberra and about a 2.5 hours drive. It was a very friendly and laid-back event with many locals and visitors as well as people from out of town. Here is a selection of images from each of the eight bands. There are also links to JAlbum slideshows for each of the bands, monochromes, top 100 images and top 25.

Some of the people who attended the festival will have seen these images on Facebook. This post also allows them to become available to people who do not use Facebook.

For regular readers of the Blog: I have another Blues Festival to post next (Thredbo). Then I will be able to resume regular posts from North Queensland.
