South West Blues Club

Hold onto your hats folks because Blues Central is only a fortnight away and this show will be a biggy. We have the dynamic amalgamation of two of the South West’s Blues giants, Les Karski and Paul Daly in the Karski Daly Blues band. Les’ legendary guitar skills and cutting vocals combine with Paul’s screaming blues harp and vocal style that has a haunting likeness to Joe Cocker. Picture that if you will, Joe Cocker on harmonica. But there is an even bigger surprise in store with this band, the rhythm section comprises our own Carl Holroyd on bass and Jayden (JD) Williamson on drums. This is a first that we all can’t wait to see and hear.

Then we will experience time travel as we jet back to the 1980s when Something’s Up gets on stage. Gary, Rick and Stevo are very familiar to jam day supporters and now joined by Stevo’s son Mike on drums. This band (minus Mike of course) was packing the Goldfield bars and nightclubs to bursting, not just on weekends but almost every night of the week. They were a sensation from Kalgoorlie to Darwin and you are about to see why. This will be a blues sensation, an unforgettable afternoon in Bunbury, of big, heavy blues. Do not miss this. 2 pm Sunday 13th of August at Froth Craft Bunbrewery, 12 Victoria Street Bunbury and it’s absolutely FREE.

This is a reminder to all South West Blues Club members that this Saturday the 5th of August at 2pm a wake and celebration of our much loved Elsie McConnell will be held at The Italian Club, 13 White Street, in Bunbury. This is a BYO event and could attendees please bring a plate with finger food to share. Please wear bright bohemian clothes, because this is an afternoon to celebrate with flowers and music a woman who many knew had a heart of gold. Bands from the South West Blues Club will be playing as a tribute to Elsie and her family, this will be an afternoon we will all remember for years to come
