New Zealand Music Month, May 2010

The Auckland Blues Club

15 April 2010

The Auckland Blues Club (http://www.aucklandbluesclub.co.nz) is an Auckland based incorporated society, and its aim is to build a strong platform as a link to not only those musicians already in blues bands and blues fans, but to the wider community as a whole.

The club recognises the importance of supporting blues musicians and fans who band together for the support of the music they love, and recognises its role in the local music scene.

 

The Club's Aim

 

The simple aim and objective of the club will be to enjoy blues music through regular organised club nights which will include gigs, jam nights, workshops and fundraising gigs & events.

The club’s mission will be to bring together blues enthusiasts and blues artists, and also encourage budding blues musicians.

We will also aim to provide lots of blues-related information on blues gigs & events around Auckland, blues artists, music venues around New Zealand and blues CD reviews, thereby building a blues community to network blues enthusiasts and musicians together from across the country and also internationally.

 

The Club’s Mission

 

The Auckland Blues Club aims to become the foremost blues club in the region and will strive to become an affiliate of The Blues Foundation in the United States.

The club is a non-profit making organisation, who hosts our own functions, workshops, jam nights and clinics featuring known artists for aspiring musicians.

 

The club’s mission is to:

 

  1. To promote and further the playing, performance, enjoyment and study of blues music by way of concerts, public performances, tuition, encouragement and support to blues musicians of all ages and those interested in the blues
  2. To nurture and develop interest in the blues among young and aspiring musicians
  3. To develop a network of people with a common interest in blues music
