Dear South West Blues Club members,
The South West Blues Club Inc. 2025 Annual General Meeting will be held 2:30-3:30pm on 18 October 2025 at Milligan, 35 Milligan Street, Carey Park.
The AGM is an important time for us to come together as a club, reflect on the year that has been and elect our committee and office bearers for the following year. Please come along to help celebrate what we’ve achieved in 2024/25 and decide upon the structure of our committee for 2025/26.
The weekend is upon us and that means Blues Central is just a day away. We have a big 6 piece Perth band in Greenzos Weird Ol Blues followed by The Recliners. That adds up to a big afternoon. Make Sunday 12 a special day, get yourself to Froth Craft Bunbrewery 1pm through to 4pm. See you there.
Spring has sprung and it’ time to drag out that old guitar, keyboard, sax or whatever your musical passion is, dust it off, polish it up and play a few notes ahead of next Sunday’s Jam Session at Froth Craft Bunbrewery. It’s bound to be another magnificent afternoon of music and camaraderie. The South West Blues Club’s September jam Session at Froth, 1pm through to 5pm Sunday 21. See you there.
Yes it’s true…two of our favourite bands return to Blues Central as a mid winter treat. Tommy ‘Boss’ Bosson is one of Western Australia’s great blues showmen and blues harmonica players. We have him back on stage alongside Neil Broad’s Old School Blues. If you love blues at its razzle dazzle best then this will be an unmissable afternoon at Froth Craft Bunbrewery. Blues Central Sunday 14 September at 1pm.
This coming Sunday will be one very special Jam Session where we pay tribute and say farewell to one of our valued members Dave Cooper. There will be friends and family there to celebrate his life the way he would want it, with a glass in hand, a smile on your face and the sound of live music. Come along and spend what will be a real special day with us and Coop’s family. Come to play or just to listen, Froth Craft Bunbury Sunday 17th of August at 1pm through until 5pm.
We are still showcasing new bands at Blues Central and August will be another treat. John Smoker has invented and reinvented himself in a number of guises over the years, but for us he will be fronting as John Smoker and the Midnight Jammers. If you love the big band sound then the Midnight The Midnight Jammers is one of the best on this side of the island. The Jammers are a six piece with real presence. Hot on their heals will be the club band, The Recliners a rising talent of long time club members who are really starting to shine. It will be another fabulous afternoon of live blues at Blues Central Froth Craft Bunbury 10th of August at 1pm. See you there.
Who cares about the weather. Come and generate some heat by playing music at our Jam Session this coming Sunday July 20 from 1pm until 5pm. Grab a friend and come along either to listen or get up and strut your stuff. Everyone is welcome at South West Blues Club’s July Jam, Froth Craft Bunbrewery in Bunbury. See you there.
We have more new bands for you. July Blues Central features Front Porch Serenaders and some of the West’s best musicians. Individually all of these musicians have graced our stage at Blues Central or Summertime Blues but this is their first time under the Serenaders banner. This will be blues at its absolute best and followed by a brand new South West Blues Club band, Vacant Daze. Spoiler alert: if you are a ‘jammer’ and have attended the last two Jam Days then you would have had a sneak preview of these boys. Blues Central Sunday 13th of July at 1pm at Froth Craft Bunbury Steel yourself for a big afternoon.
Sunday will be the first of our Winter Jams. Dust off your musical instrument, grab a mate and head on down to Froth Craft Bunbrewery – Bunbury. Come and enjoy an afternoon of hot music, great food and a few coldies. It’s always about having a good time, Sunday 15 June from 1pm and don’t forget to bring your Membership Guitar Pick for a 10% discount on food and drinks. Catch you there.
We are saddened to announce the club has lost one of its absolute stalwarts in Dave (Coops) Cooper. Our thoughts and condolences go out to Dave’s family and close friends. We will miss your wit and smile and the passion you bought to supporting the club. Rest in peace.
