Tim at Joe - Hornby Island Athletic Association and 'Blues, Where ART Thou?' at the Hall 2014

 

Tim Williams, a man who keeps the History and the Blues alive...thank you Tim!

 

2014 Guitar Raffle on now...draw on Friday

 

Great Music and a good crowd...thanks to all the participants. Kudos to Megghan B who hung the show and the Blues Board cast and volunteer crew who made it flow.  One of my favourite annual shows.

 

 

 

new 'blue' suit

with apologies to KaOs who drew the original Blue minus the suit and hat and doesn't deserve my messin' about with his fine work.

Paul Pigat - Cousin Harley

We never get tired of Cousin Harley...always a stupendous performance and dance!

2008 - Blues week on the Island...some memories

We raffle off a guitar every year during the week that is Blues camp on Hornby and I have had a lot of fun revamping old images, paintings, posters etc. for the Raffle sales. At the end of this fabulous week, someone goes home with a screamin' good instrument and, along with fine memories, others take home CD collections, Tee shirts, caps, and some mighty fine potables, I believe.
Haven't decided on my theme for this year but it is a trip to see some of these old ones...



 

These are a couple of Board member passes, or name tags

 for the unbelievably great crew...each year there are new designs.

Michael must have quite a few by now!

 



Our local monthly paper is kind enough to give us cover space most years.

In 2008 we put out some magnets and postcards along with the tee shirts and hats.

I always have a lot of fun with ticket layouts and they look pretty cool but except for a few rabid collectors they are really a pretty ephemeral art form. still...
and what a line up!
