Leaving Mississippi, Birmingham Bound

Leaving Mississippi, Birmingham Bound

4th, 5th & 6th Oct | The Mockingbird Cinema, Birmingham

This October, Big Bear Records presents this three day festival of The Blues at The Mockingbird Cinema in The Custard Factory.

The Blues was born in the Mississippi Delta out of the poverty of black enslaved Americans, and grew into the inspiring, influential music that today is heard across the world.

The links between the cotton fields of Mississippi and Birmingham are not immediately obvious, but they are there.
The British Blues Boom of the 1960s gave birth to many fine blues bands, one of which developed into possibly the most influential of all rock bands, Birmingham’s Black Sabbath, who single-handedly created heavy metal.

Leaving Mississippi Birmingham Bound traces the history of the blues from the cotton fields of Mississippi through Memphis, New Orleans and Chicago to rock and heavy metal, presented over three nights. The event is presented by Big Bear Records, who discovered Black Sabbath, took them to two hit albums and a hit single, and toured and recorded many American Bluesmen.
