It is with great pleasure and pride we present as main headliner for 2010: The legendary blues artist Charlie Musselwhite and his great band.

Now he comes to Thailand for the first time, and Saturday February 27 he will play an exclusive concert closing the 2010 show at the Hilton Arcadia.

Featured along with everybody who’s who in the blues world in Dan Aykroyd’s hit movie ‘Blues Brothers 2000’, Charlie is a 40+ year veteran with more than 20 albums, 24 W.C. Handy Awards and 7 Grammy Nominations to his name. The blues music event of the year awaits us, folks!

Richard Clapton is one of Australia's foremost musicians who emerged in the early 1970s as a talented and ambitious singer-songwriter in the "troubadour" style of artists such as Neil Young and Jackson Browne and who paved the way for three generations of songwriters to write about the experience of being Australian.
While not widely known outside of Australia, he has been a household name in that part of the world since 1975, when his title song from “Girls On The Avenue” soared on the Australian charts.

35 years later he is a popular as ever, and Friday February 26 he comes to Thailand exclusively to perform at the Festival. Let there be hordes of Girls on the Hilton Arcadia Avenue to welcome one of Australia’s top rock'n'roll musicians and his band!
