One of the highlights of the last few seasons has been the appearance of Rag Mama Rag. Formed in 1991, the English duo have consistently built up their reputation as one of Europe’s finest Country Blues acts. With an interesting and wide range of instruments, ( Ashley Dow on Henderson acoustic guitar, National & Dobro Resonator Bottleneck guitars, Weissenborn acoustic lap steel, Ukulele and vocals, plus Deborah Dow on harmonica, washboard, percussion and backing vocals ) they create an exceptionally full and hard driving rhythmic sound that soon has the audiences feet tapping. Their repertoire is 20’s and 30’s blues based, but extremely varied, encompassing Mississippi Blues, East Coast Ragtime sounds, early white Country tunes, Original compositions and many other regional 20’s/30’s styles. Making a visit from their home in France, Rag Mama Rag tour regularly and have played at many major festivals in Europe and beyond.
