Bluesnights
Thanks to all of you who come out month after month and support our efforts to keep blues alive and live in Dorset. The average cost of staging a Bluesnight is now £850; our outgoings are only just matched by our income, consequently when audience numbers fall below 80, losses are sustained. So, as a volunteer-run organisation, your support of the Bluesnights is important to us in ensuring that we can carry on providing high quality live music at affordable prices.
We're back again with a new line-up of exciting blues artists for the new 2012/13 Bluesnight's season. Why not come along and join us for a great evening out?
