Blues by the Beach at Killcare

A Blues by the Beach event and a night of Drag Queen Bingo in January will help Killcare Surf Club secure a new Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB).

While a grant has been received, the club is still a little short of funds to complete the purchase and the fundraisers at the clubhouse in January to meet the shortfall.

On Saturday, January 7, there will be a night of authentic blues music by the beach from 7.30pm-10.30pm with music by the four-piece Central Coast band BluesAngels.

After several line-up changes, the band now comprises original members Tom Flood on lead vocals, songwriting, blues harps, 5-string banjo, acoustic guitar and washboard and Cec Bucello on vocals, banjomandolin, acoustic guitar, stompbox and kazoo) along with Hugh Worrall and Graham Black.

Worrall plays sax, clarinet, spoons and percussion, occasional acoustic guitar and also does vocals, while Graham ‘Blackie’ Black plays a mean lead electric bass and acoustic guitar as well as also contributing to vocals.

The band’s sound has gone more upmarket, with New Orleans and funk edges flavouring the folk blues favourites.

The bar will be open from 7pm with the music to start at 7.30 and food by local caterer Bottletree Kitchen.

On Saturday, January 14, a fun night of Drag Queen Bingo will be held from 7.30pm-11pm.

Once again the bar will open at 7pm, with food by Bottletree Kitchen.

Cost for each event is $25 for club members and $30 for non-members with bookings available through trybooking.
