Next month we are due to have our AGM. At every AGM we declare all committee positions vacant and elect the committee again. We would like anyone with an interest in the committee positions to let us know so we can make sure you know what the roles encompass. The official announcement will have nomination forms and an agenda attached for member’s information.
We have had some response from members to our call for people to begin replacing Kerry Sattler’s roles. Needless to say we need more.
Please respond to committee@canberrabluessociety.com.au if you are interested or if you know of someone who might be interested in any of these roles.
The August Jam Workshop was a terrific event. Numbers were great but more importantly the performances were a couple of notches higher than usual.
The Pro Jam last month featured the Bald and the Beautiful. Unfortunately I couldn’t be there, but have heard it was another great Jam.
Chase the Sun on 20th July, blew us all away with their energy, clever arrangements and fabulous playing.
International Blues Music Day 2024 was a great success with every act attracting good interest and enthusiasm from the keen audience. Any feedback you would like to make about the event would be welcome. Please address your thoughts and observations to committee@canberrabluessociety.com.au
Many thanks to all the artists, stall holders, sponsors, volunteers, the committee and Kerry Sattler for a fantastic day’s celebration of Blues Music.
Midnight Mojo from Goulburn are hosting this month’s Youth In Blues Pro Blues Jam on the 18th. I am looking forward to hearing this young band that I’ve heard so much about.
Charlie Musselwhite (USA) and his band play for us on the 24th of September. Added bonus is the special guest support, multi award-winner Fiona Boyes opening the show. Tickets to this event are still selling well, so don’t wait too long if you want tickets to this premier show.
Don’t forget to check out the events page and the gig guide on the website for more details and lots more local gigs in our vibrant local scene.
