The ideals of a social "meet and greet" and the opportunity for young musicians to play and learn with older members created a great learning environment which still remains. Functions are run around an anchor band and invited guests. This is a chance for family and friends plus all musicians at all levels of skill and experience an opportunity to perform "live" in front of an knowledgeable and supportive audience.
The Mainland Big Band will be be playing monthly from March through to December at the Woolston Club. Great dance music, a great dance floor and a great dance band.
The first night is 2nd of March from 7: 30pm. Check the web site www.mainlandbigband.co.nz for more details or check out the flyer.
We are pleased to announce that we have secured an arrangement with the Cashmere Club to hold once-monthly Musician’s Club functions at their premises in Hunter Tce. These will be on the last Friday of each month at 7.30pm. The next night is Friday 31st May with Studio View as the Anchor Band
All Club members and supporters
are welcome, in fact, encouraged, to attend the regular functions. Members wishing to have a “blow” will be seriously encouraged. As usual, an anchor band will be present, but will not wish to hog the stage.
There will be a P.A system, keyboard, drums, mics, and amps, so it’s easy for you. Just bring your own instrument. There is a great stage and the acoustics are pretty good.
Entry is free to all of these functions
Bands/acts wishing to perform as anchor band or guest at future functions please contact Des Newton Ph. 021 132 1101.
The Club is committed to making this a success

In addition to playing music of the jazz rock / soul / latin / jazz standards styles, they also backed and performed extensively with several touring musicians and singers.
Their Jazz After Work concert on Friday 31 May will bring back a few memories, and will feature foundation and original band members – Rocky Moore (piano), Roger Hanson ( bass & vocals ), Stu Buchanan ( saxes ) and Dave Dunn ( drums ), plus guest musician Tony Lewis ( trombone ).
