International Blues Music Day / Weekend

We have an exciting weekend coming up on 6 & 7 August with International Blues Music Day. HBS official gigs are at Biddy's but we also have members running IBMD events at Pirongia and Te Aroha, so Blues Lovers are spoiled for choice this weekend. We are blessed to have so many talented local and supporting bands within the Hamilton Blues Society. Here's to a great weekend everybody!

Post-Covid awakenings...

We are starting to see a drift of people returning to HBS Thursday Night Blues which is heartening. I'm beginning to get the Membership list back in order after the two years of pandemic disruptions. The membership year runs from 1 April to 31 March. It is understandable that some people have allowed their membership to lapse given that we weren't allowed out / were restricted for so long, but great to see more people signing back up with their mere $20 for a year's membership.

HBS events coming up - another reminder
Saturday   6 August International Blues Music Day @ Biddy's from 1pm - FREE. Also tickets for the Toni Swain concert will be available at the door.
Sunday     7 August Toni Swain in Concert with our very own Maciek on guitar.  Darcy Perry, Rob Lock and Daron MacDonald as a supporting band.

                  Door charge applies $15 for club members, $20 for non members. Starts at 5.00 p.m. so not a late night, come on down and enjoy!
Thursday 11 August Thursday Night Blues with special guests - The Dale Robbins Band

Sunday    28 August Sunday Arvo Blues in Biddy's back bar
Thursday   8 September Thursday Blues Night
