The spirit of Basil''s Bar has always been, ''Why not have fun?''. The answer to that question is, to have fun, be yourself and just do it! That is how the Blues Festival was born more than ten years ago. An old friend of Basil''s, London blues singer Dana Gillespie, was visiting Basil on Mustique. It was Jump Up night and as the reggae band played on, Dana was inspired to sing. It was clear that blues sung with Reggae did not work, so she sang accapella. the crowd loved the blues, and with her final encore, Dana promised Basil a full on blues festival, if he would only get a proper piano. Never challenge Basil, as on his next visit to New York City he sought and bought the perfect piano for the bar. The following January, Dana true to her word, arrived with musicans in tow, and for two weeks, Basil''s Bar rocked with the sounds of the blues. Around that time, Basil was formalizing his Basil Charles Educational Foudation. While it was unlikely the blues festival would ever make a profit, it was agreed that it would be used as a vehicle to promote the charity and to attract donors. The first festival was in 1995, and CD''s have been produced each year. There have been two ''Best Of'' CD''s released by Milan Records in Paris. The festival next Mustique Blues Festival will be held January 23 till February 6 2008. Each Sunday the festival is early with a Sunset Show...a perfect venue for families and children to come and enjoy the blues, a cocktail and a plate of fries. Appearing at the Mustique Blues Festival at Basil''s Bar in 2007 were: Eugene Hideaway Bridges, Papa George with Steve Simpson, Carl Gustaf, Dana Gillespie and the London Blues Band. Special appearances by Felix Dennis, Marie Claire and Jenny Muldar. Dinner reservations recommended but not always necessary during the Blues Festival, each Wednesday, there is a buffet.
