<![CDATA[Nothin' But The Blues]]> First broadcast in 1975 Nothin’ But the Blues has been broadcasting since the early days of 4ZZZ. Hosts Lynne and Jules aim to continue previous broadcaster Mark ‘The Colonel ‘ Doherty’s purpose. 

Blues continues to be an underground taste, despite its historical pre-eminence as a grassroots source of much contemporary music. 

Championing current and past practitioners of the blues is our ongoing quest! NBTB supports local and interstate Oz blues artists, while reminding listeners of the long and illustrious history of the music in its US birthplace.
