The Jack Daniel's Forth Valley Blues Festival held Heat 3 of the Talent Quest on Sunday the 17th of February, at the Bridge Hotel Forth.
It was a big one with 7 acts and a large and enthusiastic crowd in attendance!

Unfortunately Steph Brett from St Helens was a late withdrawal. We received a phone message that she had been in an accident and broken both her legs. Hopefully this isn't correct and we hope you are fit and well Steph.

SaD, Sean and Dave, from Devonport started the day off with some of Dave's originals.

Marita Mangano from St Helens played some lovely folky blues showing off her strong and sweet voice.

Toby Garrett made the trip from Bicheno to play his resonator guitar and home made lap resonator and laid down some great slide work.

The Middletones, the winners of last years Talent Quest, hit the road early to make the long trip up from Middleton in the Channel. They showed why they won last year, with great originals and fantastic takes of some old classics.

Neville and Michelle of Burnie displayed their strong voices and guitar work with some wonderful duets.

The Bone Rattlers from Hobart really put on a show and had the Forth pub crowd on their feet. If you weren't there then you missed out big time! Check 'em out if you get a chance.

The Mojays from Shearwater might only play in a garage with their neighbours complaining about the noise, but they pumped out some great tunes in their first public performance. Well done fellas.

Thanks to everyone who came and played and all the people there to support them.
One more week of heats to go with the last one on this Sunday, the 24th of February!
