SWBC at Blues at Bridgetown 2024

For those attending Blues at Bridgetown in November, South West Blues Club Band The Resonators will be playing on the Blues Club Stage in the Main Street on Saturday 9th. We continue our long standing support for this great music festival and hope as many club members as possible can get to Blues at Bridgetown. It is bound to be another great weekend of live music.

No Blues Central in November 2024

Just a reminder that there will be NO BLUES CENTRAL in November due to the Blues at Bridgetown festival. As Blues Central falls on the same weekend we encourage club members to support the Bridgetown festival. We will be up and running again in December with a new Perth band, The Last Avocado and our own Dave Tiger and the Allsorts. We will see you all in December with a rip roaring show to take out the year.

Blues Central at Froth: 13 Oct 2024

WOW, WOW and WOW again!!! Yep Whiskey Nips are back in town, with their dizzying pizazz and power. The sensational voice of Kirsty Finn , Blew Drew absolute master of the tin sandwich and the amazing Daniel Wiggins on guitar, plus and plus. We are so excited to have this 5 piece Funk Blues Band back at Blues Central and this time supported by club legends, Something Else. They are playing at Bridgetown this year but why wait when you can hear them at Blues Central. The other rumour is also correct. The Goldfield boys are back, Gaza fronting with powerhouse duo Ric and Steve and you won’t believe it but hard man Brad Mac is back on drums, so this is going to be one epic afternoon.
