Harborough Blues is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation bringing top-quality live blues music to Market Harborough. Founded by a small group of passionate music lovers, the team curates monthly gigs that connect outstanding musicians with an attentive, welcoming audience. With sold-out shows and returning artists, Harborough Blues is helping live music thrive and strengthening the town’s vibrant cultural life.
