THE sun shone on Diggle as the blues met the greenery.
Music fans lapped up the pleasant weather and the tunes during the seventh Diggle Blues Festival from Thursday to Sunday.

Organisers made it a retrospective year, picking out 11 of the past popular acts, including John Otway, Tom Attah, BluzeBox, and Mike Sweeney and Paddy O'Hare with the Collective.
