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 […]

Hi there Blues fans. Well, not much to muse about this month. I had a week at Tathra which was very nice and saw the only music I saw all month. I lasted 2 beers. Well, to be fair, I was driving. Other than that, naught. Not even the jam! Though there was a birthday […]
Hello fellow Bluesers. Damn! Autumn already! The year will be over before we know it! The first jam for the year kicked off in grand style with the host band Big Gumbo playing some great tunes. The jamming was also outstanding, but I think the highlight on the day was the refurbed room! It’s definitely […]
Hello fellow blues lovers. End of the month already! Only 320 something days ‘til Christmas! Well, January was a very quiet month in the Presidential Palace. Only got out to see a single gig, but it was a corker! Bucky’s Big Budweiser Birthday Bash which was very well attended. Some great playing during the afternoon […]
