No. 1 pick of the month, by the UK's Independent Blues Broadcasters Association, a group of 45 Blues DJs in the UK. 

Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion was the 4th most played band/artist  by the IBBA (Independent Blues Broadcasters Association) DJs in 2014. See full chart chart here: Blues In The South February 2015

"Zoe's success in becoming a runner up in the Female Artist category of the British Blues Awards, reflects only part of the accomplishment of Blue Commotion.  The jazz inflected guitar work of Rob Koral and his (and Zoe's) exemplary song writing skills, coupled with the outstanding harp work of Si Genaro, to say nothing of the tightest of rhythm sections in Paul Robinson (d) and Pete Whittacker (Hammond) put them at the very edge of triumph on the world blues scene." Ian McKenzie, Feb 2015,  Blues In The South 

3rd in the 'Best Band' Category, and Zoe was joint 2nd in the 'Best Vocalist' category!  Thank you Alan!
