A big downer for the organization and the visitors of the Holland International Blues Festival in Grolloo. The American singer-songwriter Beth Hart, who was to close the second day, withdrew at the last minute.
According to the organization, that decision was made because of ‘health problems’. Hart was one of the main acts at the Drentse festival. The visitors were replaced by an extra performance by the American blues guitarist and singer Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram, who also played in Grolloo earlier in the day.
