EUROPEAN BLUES HALL OF FAME

Starting in 2024 the European Blues Union has decided to create the “European Blues Hall of Fame”, a space to honor the achievements of European people who have excelled in any field of blues, to pay tribute to the substantial contribution of alive or dead people who contribute or have contributed significantly to the fame and influence of the blues in Europe to let them not to be forgotten, making them be remembered by fans and become known among the young generations of blues lovers.

To be inducted into the European Blues Hall of Fame, the candidate must either be European or have had a long career in Europe and have played an outstanding important role in transmitting a blues music, blues knowledge… like artists, authors and/or composers, festivals and other venues, labels, magazines, major works whether discographic, literary or cinematographic, promoters, radio & tv broadcasters or shows, researchers, societies & associations, writers… etc.

By now it consists of a dedicated place on the EBU website. Our future goal is to organize a live ceremony in different European places and disseminate it all over Europe.

IMPLEMENTATION:

EBU Active Members are requested to send possible names. Board members will consider the names sent by members. They can also add some new ones according to their criteria. The Board will vote and choose the inductees.
