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 national 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.

Blues is the Truth #818
We are back for another two hours full of blues, proudly brought to you in association with our good friends at the Crawdaddy Club Richmond. We have got all the latest news on the superb live gigs coming up at the historic home of the blues in Richmond Upon Thames.
The music this week is a proper masterclass from across the spectrum. We are getting straight into the groove with Memphis vocalist Singa B, followed by Doyle Bramhall II, the raw Chicago sound of Taildragger, and Belgian bluesman Guy Verlinde. We also have firm favourites The Mustangs, a dose of classic Texan boogie from ZZ Top, the energy of Wailin Walker, and The Smoke Wagon Blues Band.
The quality doesn’t dip there as we bring you Mississippi MacDonald, aclassic track from Little Feat, Chicago legend Lurrie Bell, and heavy grit from Killin’ Floor. You will also hear the brilliant Robert Cray Band, Peter V Blues Train, and the incredible musicianship of the Tedeschi Trucks Band.
Rounding out another proper session, we feature the piano prowess of Veronica Lewis, the acoustic touch of Papa George, living legend Buddy Guy, and the great Adam Sweet. We finish up in fine style with Tim Aves and Wolfpack, and the timeless jump blues of Big Joe Turner.
Two full hours of real music, real groove and exceptional artists.
