Welcome to the Southwest Blues Club

This is the new site of the Southwest Blues Club.

About the Southwest Blues Club

Our events are normally held on the first Friday of each month, and we have a Sunday session blues jam every second month.

These events are held at the Eliot Street Bar, at the back of the Hotel Burlington, in Eliot Street, Bunbury WA. The events are organised and prepared by a team of seemingly tireless volunteers who take turns in manning the door, selling raffle tickets and merchandise, setting up and cleaning up the venue.

Southwest Blues Club goes to Blues on Broadbeach Music Festival

Club President, Mike Hall, will be going to Queensland to represent the club at this prestigious festival. Mike will be using this opportunity to liaise with the blues community from all around Australia, furthering the cause of supporting live blues music.
Also attending will be the club's much loved house band, HomeBrew.
HomeBrew have been chosen as one of just two bands to represent WA at the event.
The festival will be held between May 29th and– June 1st 2008 in the Broadbeach, Gold Coast QLD.

Photos from past events now added to our new site.

The time consuming task of transferring all of the past event photos to the new site is nearly complete.
Sadly, we have a number of events where no photos were taken by anyone on the committee or by our sponsor, Rawjac. If anyone out there has photos from any of those events and is prepared to share them with the world, please contact Mike (el Presidente).

To see the photos from the events click here. A warning though, if you are still using a dial-up connection it will be extremely slow as photos are quite large files. I have kept the file sizes as small as possible without reducing the quality too much.

Enjoy

The South West Blues Club President Mike Hall selected as Judge for Australia’s most prestigious Blues Award

Info at: www.australianbluesfestival.com.au

Mike Hall, President of the South West Blues Club, has been selected as one of only seven judges in Australia to judge the most prestigious blues awards in Australia, the Australian Blues Music 'Chain' Awards - all thanks to the Club’s success, hard working committee, members and people in the South West supporting the blues.

The Australian Blues Music Awards (originally known as the Goulburn Blues Music Awards) are presented each year to recognise excellence in Blues Music in Australia.

Mike’s selection on the panel represents a fantastic opportunity to put the South West Blues Club and the South West Region well and truly on the National and International Blues Scene map.
