Jude Simpson steps down as secretary, and the Committee would like say a big 'thank you' and show our appreciation for all of Jude's hard work in last few years, having previously held other roles on the committee as an officer. However, Jude has agreed to stay on as Public Officer for the club, in a non commitee role, so we are very fortunate to have Jude in that capacity.
The Commitee would also like to thank John Lovell for his ongoing support to the club, helping with setting up the gig, looking after our website and supporting our social media - its very much appreciated!
Another thank you to the The Royal Oak Hotel for providing us with a great venue for our club, and supporting us with high quality advertising on social media .

Next year will be the last Bluesfest, so if you've always wanted to go, then next year is your last chance. This, as well as Forth cancelling, is very sad.
Maybe we should now be looking towards smaller, regional festivals for our Blues fix.
After 35 years, Bluesfest is coming to an end Bluesfest has been a hugely popular musical celebration every Easter for over 35 years. Next year it all comes to an end.
Unfortunately next year's Forth Valley Blues Fest will not be going ahead.
We have a request from Carl Bulow, who is looking for video footage of Fandango when they played at the Jam in June.
Can anyone help him?
We have had some great musicians coming to play at our ban and jam. Here is a video of the wonderful Richard Steele Trio, and some fantastic guitar and musicianship.
Continuing with celebrations of the Blues in Tassie, this is from our own Steve Weir. We know him as an amazing keyboardist, but Steve is a man of many talents and keen to help us celebrate International Blues Day. Enjoy!
Here we have a fabulous Tassie band and past guest artist for the LBC, Tin Pocket. We found them playing in Hobart a couple of weeks ago - here’s a clip:
Another video, sent in by Paul Christensen, of his former band Two Lane Blacktop, and they sound pretty good! Thank you Paul🙏
