    The 1st monthly Bangor Blues Jam was a mega success. Almost 100 people came through the doors and at least a dozen musicians graced the stage. From Hoochie Coochie Man to Mustang Sally, the jammers came from all over Ulster. Even from Monaghan, Cavan and as far as Drogheda. With Matt on Keyboards, Noel on Blues harp, Rik on drums, Lawrence on bass and Ciarz swingin his axe and singin, we had some serious fun!!! Roll on june 3rd for the 2nd round
