Welcome to The UK Blues Hall Of Fame.
There are two ways an artist or band can be inducted into the UK Blues Hall of Fame.
The first is by winning the same UK Blues Award three times. This achievement earns them a place
in the Hall of Fame in recognition of their sustained excellence. Once inducted, they are no longer eligible for that award.
The second is through nomination by the UK Blues Federation Board. Starting in 2026, two artists or bands will be
inducted every four months in recognition of their lasting contribution to blues music and the UK’s blues community.
