Cognac Blues Passions, Cognac, France
4th - 9th July
Various Blues artists from around the world gather in Cognac for around 6 days each July at the Blues Passions festival.
Most of the music is free with only the larger concerts requiring tickets. Previous guests have included Joe Cocker, Ray Charles and B.B. King. Workshops, exhibitions and a gastronomic fair are all part of the occasion - and of course don't miss the Cognac tasting.
