The 2005 Festival was the biggest weekend in the Festival's history with a record number of venues and bands. The weather was excellent and despite the Main Stage having to be relocated at the 11th hour and the 59th minute it was a fabulous weekend.

The 2004 Festival was feast of live music held in glorious Spring sunshine and warm evenings. You can check it out by clicking on any of the links below
The 2003 Festival was the fifth birthday of Bushy's Big Wheel Blues Festival and we celebrated in style.

The weather started out in May 2003 with glorious sunshine day in and day out until the week before the Festival and then it started to rain. Marvellous. However all the venues were covered and so things went on excatly as planned and all the ticketed venues sold out and the Free stages were, as usual, packed. On Sunday afternoon we had a brief respite from the rain and the outdoor sessions at The Mines were, for the most part, bathed in sunshine which was great after all the wet.

Nevertheless it was a thorougly enjoyable weekend and you can check out the various stages by clicking on the links below:
