The initial concept was to bring presenters together for the benefit of Blues Music across the UK and beyond and to speak in a united voice. Individually the shows were limited in what they could influence, however by coming together under the umbrella of the Association and each month agreeing a featured album, our combined influence would be greater than the BBC. As the UK does not have a nation

al Blues radio station the combination of shows has provided in excess of one hundred hours of blues music available every week not only on local radio stations but around the world on the internet. The main aims of the IBBA are as follows:

-To provide a united body of presenters and in doing so gain greater influence with promoters, record labels and artists.
-The selection and promotion of a ‘Picks of the month’ so that each member agrees to play at least one track from that album on each show during that month.
-To promote blues shows presented by IBBA members by supplying time/day and how to listen information by means of a weekly schedule.
-Contact page so that promoters, record labels and artists can contact members of the Association with their promotional material and tracks.
-Contact details so all IBBA members can contact each other.
-To encourage members to promote shows presented by other IBBA members.
-The sharing of information and ideas.
-To support, encourage and promote blues music across the UK.

The new edition of Blues is the Truth is live and ready to roll! Proudly sponsored by the Tuesday Night Blues Jam at the Rising Sun in Isleworth, this week’s show shines a spotlight on some of the incredible talent appearing at this year’s Ealing Blues Festival. The first half is a celebration of the artists taking the stage in Walpole Park, and the second half digs deep into the roots and branches of the blues.

Host Ian McHugh kicks things off with a setlist packed full of artists featured at this year’s festival, including the powerhouse energy of Little Mike and the Tornados, the double-shot of Robert Hokum and the Guv’nors, the smooth intensity of Bluez’d, and the explosive talent of Toby Lee. Also appearing are the Paul Cook Blues Band with Katie Bradley, Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion, Geoff Garbow Band, and the raw Mississippi power of Cedric Burnside.

The festival focus wraps up with the slide-driven magic of Jack Broadbent, the ever-impressive Elles Bailey, and a brand new track from Ian McHugh himself.

In the second half, the show shifts into wider territory, showcasing stone-cold classics and standout deep cuts. You’ll hear the unmistakable growl of John Lee Ho**er, the ice-cool sting of Albert Collins, and the smooth soul of Johnny Rawls. There’s also a star-packed turn from Bonnie Raitt et al, plus timeless sounds from Robert Nighthawk, Big Mama Thornton, and John Mayall and the Blues Breakers.

To round things off, there’s a taste of local legacy with Papa George and a rare track from Crawdaddy legends The Others.

It’s a show rooted in tradition and bursting with contemporary fire. Whether you’re heading to the Ealing Blues Festival or tuning in from afar, this one’s got your weekend soundtrack sorted.
