The last Thursday of the month is always celebrated in grand
style by our renowned jam night gig. All musos welcome – and a
good crowd of appreciative blues fans is always a bonus!

Another welcome return to the Bristol for Wanganui’s favourite
blues brothers – Dusty & Fred Loveridge. With a new drummer in
the band, it may have a slightly different feel to it but it’ll
still be a blues-filled affair.

Phil McLaughlin’s love of the more jazz-funk infused blues
returns tonight. He’s introduced some new material into the set –
plus some horns to add even more variety to the mix!

Always looking to bring you as wide a range of music as possible,
our local amp guru, Pete Matich, and his new surf rock band join
us tonight. Also surfing the blues highway tonight is the Red Dog
Saloon Band – cos you can never get too much of a good thing!

This is the first jam night of the year but will also be the last
one (at least for a while) where we will see the club’s
youngest (but now legally entitled to drink alcohol!) member,
Jake Stokes, who’s heading up to Auckland to go to uni! Come
along and join the fun……

It’s been several years since our old mate, Ant Maddock, has
brought the club the joys of his Stevie Ray Vaughan show so, it’s
with baited breath and ear plugs, we welcome the return of the
Texas blues of Tony and his cohorts!

As this is the last gig of the year we thought it would be good to do
something a bit different for you. The Catz will go full on to give
you the festive dancing songs and The Fallen Angels will get the night
underway with some of Wayne’s kiwi classics.

Our quiet but ever-popular bass playing regular at the club asked for
a gig for his own band and who were we to say ‘no’ – he’s bigger than
me!! The only stipulation we made was that ‘Big E’ has to step up to
the mic and air his vocal chords as well!!

Rocky, Jackie & Phil – vox;
Kevin & Leva – guitars;
Elliotte – bass (and vox!);
Jonathon – drums

As her last appearance at the Bristol in July was so well received, we
thought it only fair that you should have a second chance to catch
Marg and her wonderful band again for a full night’s entertainment.

Bill Lake – guitar/vox;
