British Blues Awards 2013
British Blues Awards Hall Of Fame
The British Blues Awards Hall of Fame is the highest honour we can give to the undisputed winners who have won a category for three consecutive years. Without a doubt, these worthy winners are the people's favourites as the past 3 years have shown.
In order to prevent an over dominance by any act in any of the categories, three times winners are inducted into the British Blues Awards Hall of Fame,which means that they are excluded from future polls in that category.
Congratulations to the following recipients.
British Blues Broadcast 2011
The Paul Jones Rhythm and Blues Show
Paul started on Radio Two 25 years ago and is still the No 1 Blues show listened to by thousands of blues enthusiasts as well as blues musicians every Monday evening at 7.00pm.
The Nottingham Blues Society decided to honour the show with induction to the ‘Hall of Fame’ basically to let some other blues programme have a chance of recognition in the competitive world of the blues air waves.
