Thank you!
Just a quick line to thank you for your continued support of Bluesnights. Our autumn season (2011) has been a successful one, with an average audience of over 70% capacity. After the last several years credit crunch difficulties, we thank you all for helping to put Bluesnights back on a sound footing – a trend which we all hope will continue throughout this year's Bluesnight's season.
