Hello Blues devotees! So, as we bid goodbye to the first month of 2020, I feel it might be more a good riddance! Pretty horrible for most Canberrans and a complete catastrophe for others. As I write this in an air-conditioned shed in the middle of a racetrack in Bathurst, I see Canberra will get […]
As I write this, fellow Blues lovers, Christmas with all its shopping bustle and late-night parties has come and gone. It’s that bit between Christmas and New Year that I love. It’s quiet and relaxed. A time to sit back, unwind and work out what’s happening for the coming year. Except not this year. To […]
‘Tis the season… Well. It was bound to happen! It’s December. Time for parties and the last jam for the year. That was quick! The November jam went off like a cracker! Thanks to Key Grip Lite for hosting the jam. Leo and the boys and girl did a great job as usual and had […]
Hello and welcome to another musings for the Canberra Blues Society! The CBS AGM was held on Wednesday 30th November at the Harmonie German Club and the committee for the next year elected. I’d like to thank Kerry Scarlett, Dan Collins, Ross Buchanan, John Spencer and Chris Harland for their contributions to the CBS over […]
Howdy doody Blues lovers! Well, the blues jam for September went spectacularly well! Especially considering only a few days before we were left without a PA or lights! I want to thank the Guitar Cases for not only providing themselves as host band, but also for furnishing the PA and lights that would otherwise have […]
Hello CBS members and welcome to spring! Loving the warmer weather. The Youth in Blues jam was a treat for all who went along. Host band, the Bundah Blues Band, made up of students from Narrabundah College were great to listen to. Small Town Afro from Goulburn performed the closing set which had everyone tapping […]
Howdy doody Blues fans! What a month July was. I had a lurgy for a good part of it and I probably wasn’t the only one! Got to go to a couple of Apollo 11 50th anniversary functions, which, for a geeky boy were great! I did manage to get along to one of Bucky’s […]
Hello CBS members! The June jam was an entertaining afternoon of music delivered by some great musos from the area! It kicked off with the host band, The Chris Harland Blues Band. Some very tasty blues from the guys. Then, before they were finished special guest Steve Russell joined the band. Some terrific moments of […]
Howdy Doody CBS members. By golly these Presidential ramblings are rolling around too quickly for comfort! The April jam was a hoot! Rick Bamford’s Minglewood Blues Band kicked off the afternoon with some very fine playing from Rick, Deano Edgecombe, James Hoogstad and Bernard Morris. Then the jammers were up with some great performances. Of […]
Hello again Blues Lovers! I’m over winter. That is all I’m going to say about that. With work commitments I was unable to make it to the May CBS Jam. I have heard it was a fine afternoon of blues with Muddy Wolfe hosting the gig. Wish I could’ve been there! I did get to […]
