We have been providing live blues music in Gisborne for the past 18 years!
As an Incorporated society we have a constitution that outlines for following core activities;

  2. To nurture and develop Blues among young and aspiring musicians.
  3. To develop a network of people with a common interest in Blues Music.
  4. To generally do and carry out all things that are likely to further or promote Blues music, musicians and social activities between members.
  5. To welcome and host visiting musicians both from NZ and overseas.
