COMING UP:
Our Blues on the Water cruises are all about having fun, listening to some great music and hanging out with seriously cool people who know how to enjoy themselves.
Our next cruise is on Saturday, 8 July (boarding 11.45am) and is guaranteed to tick all those boxes with performances by the sensational Cyril B. Bunter Band and Melbourne band Jesse Valach and Blues Mountain so book your ticket(s) as there are only 150 available.
The Cyril B Bunter Band will be blasting out blistering boogies and shuffles. In the 1970s and 1980s, The Cyril B Bunter Band was a rite of passage for countless Sydneysiders and they were renowned for putting on one of the best Blues and Boogie shows with regulars congregated from all points of Sydney to see them – from Bondi, Botany and Blacktown, from Clovelly, Cronulla and Collaroy, Manly and Maroubra – everyone had a ball.
The Bunters were regularly hitting the road with touring international acts such as John Mayall’s Blues Breakers, Canned Heat and good mates George Thorogood & The Destroyers (which later saw George recording The Bunters “Boogie People” as the title track to his 1985 album).
In 2013, The Bunters reformed to bring back some of that old time Boogie and have performed to packed houses of young and old fans including sensational shows at the Thredbo Blues Festival, Great Southern Blues Festival, Sydney Blues & Roots Festival and Patonga Blues By The Bay Festival.
Also performing on the cruise is Melbourne’s Jesse Valach and Blues Mountain. Many of you may remember the band as they performed at Leah’s 50th Birthday cruise which ranks as one of the best cruises that we have had so it will be a pleasure to see them again.
Last year, Jesse was the Melbourne Blues Performer of the Year and early this year he represented the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society at the Memphis Blues Challenge.
Jesse has performed alongside some of Australia’s biggest names in Blues music including Russell Morris, Geoff Achison, Jeff Lang, Lloyd Spiegel, Jimi Hocking and Ray Beadle.
Weaving together intense guitar and soulful vocals Jesse takes you on a journey from lights down low soul ballads to energetic shuffle romps delivered in a demanding fashion. As they say: Jesse is a mountain of Blues with a river of Soul.
At $65 per ticket, this cruise is guaranteed to be fun so book early to avoid disappointment.
