Raymond Wright whose love of music prompted this exhibition and the idea for ‘Portrait of the Blues’ said
‘over the past few years I felt the number of live blues venues were decreasing.
This was in part due to the changing pub scene in Dublin. The Bleu Note where this exhibition is being first shown is one of the more recent additions to the blues scene. Hopefully this contribution to the Dublin Blues scene will encourage renewed interest in this area.’
