Erna Ferry has just returned from the States where she’s been playing some clubs there. She’s got a strong voice and plays mean Little Walter-style harmonica. The Blues Buffet recently played the Blues, Brews and BBQ gig in Tauranga and Church Road Winery, Napier and have a gig at the Manawatu Jazz and Blues Festival on Queen’s Birthday weekend. They cover Albert Collins, Herbie Hancock, SRV, Muddy Waters, Little Charlie and the Nightcats plus originals from their CD, Appertiser.

You can expect another fine night of big band music from the students of the Music School under the musical direction of Rodger Fox. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll be sure to bring your dancing shoes.

Highway 61 meets Cuba Street! If the blues don’t get you, the highway will… Soak up a night of groove ‘n blues with Ms Bean and her trusty cohorts. And maybe Ray Ahipene-Mercer won’t fall asleep tonight as he will have just come back a few hours before the gig, from a trip to Cuba – the real CUBA!
Carol Bean – guitar/vox
