Win a holiday to the Mississippi
Do we have a competition for you!
Visit Mississippi are offering a chance to Win a holiday in Mississippi, home of the Blues and a mecca for any music fan.
To celebrate their sponsorship of our Blues and Boogie with David Freeman programme
There is no better way for Blues fans to experience the Mississippi Delta than travelling by car down Highway 61, known as The Blues Highway. As you travel throughout the Delta with its endless cotton fields, small towns and meandering rivers, you will see the land that many famous Bluesmen call home. To truly find the soul of the Blues take the back roads to old plantation sites, such as Stovall Farms and Hopson Plantation in Clarksdale and Dockery Farms in Ruleville, where if you listen carefully, you can still hear the lamenting sounds of the slaves’ field hollers and spirituals resounding with the deep African rhythms of their ancestors.
In order to maximize the trip value, we strongly suggest a Monday starting day. This will allow for a Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights in the Clarksdale and Greenwood area. Typically, Blues entertainment is only available on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights in these small towns. Furthermore, near Cleveland is one of only two truly authentic “juke joints” in Mississippi – Po Monkey’s – and it’s only open on Thursday nights!
