A ONE-DAY blues festival is coming to Warrington headlined by Joanne Shaw Taylor.

The Gig Cartel will be presenting Summertime Festival at Parr Hall on Saturday, July 15,

Joanne, who was discovered by Eurythmics' Dave Stewart when she was 16, was recently seen on BBC2’s Later with Jools Holland following the release of her latest album, Wild, which entered the UK album charts at number 20.
