Hi there and welcome to the first Canberra Blues Society’s Blues News for 2019. I hope everyone has had a chance to relax over the break, ‘cause it’s all starting to heat up for the year. And it’s hot! The SunBears blew us away at the CBS Christmas jam in December! CC Hall, Craig Marshalsey […]

Hello blues lovers. Not long now ‘til Santa slithers down the chimney; devours the treats left for him and leaves behind packages of socks and handkerchiefs.

Hello Canberra Blues Society (CBS) members! My name is Dave McRae and I’ve taken over the reins of Presidency from the very capable Dean Edgecombe, who is overseas for some fun for 12 or so months.

Welcome fellow blues lovers. Well our illustrious president has settled into life in England and has sent us this little message “First Blues Jam last Thursday was a blast.
