The HBS Re-Launch Party Jam

WHAT A NIGHT!

Yes folks, the BLUES scene in Hamilton is definitely alive!!!

A super turn out at the re-launching of the Hamilton Blues Society(HBS) on
Thursday 14th June.
It was both loads of fun and very reassuring for the HBS committee.
The new committee has already begun plans to host BLUES events in Hamilton and to strengthen its relationships with neighbouring BLUES clubs both near and far.
All thats needed is a steady crowd like there was on the 14th to make it all a success.

The night's line-up was really interesting. People were coming out of the woodwork with the most amazing interpretations of the BLUES.

I don't know about you but I heard,
Rockabilly
Slide
Jazz
Electric
Chicago
Rock
Country
Acoustic
Delta
Swing
and even
Ska-tinged BLUES.
And the fabulous WOMEN vocalists! WOW what a treat! More, More!!

This has no doubt been the best BLUES PARTY JAM so far.

A big thanks to all who supported the re-launch of HBS.
A special thanks to Biddy Mulligan's,
Community Radio Hamilton,
HBS,
Hamilton Press,
and a very special thank you to Mike, Sally, & Warren
and the friends from BOP BLUES
and the many others who travelled from near and far.
It just wouldn't have been the same without you!
