Cross Creek Blues Club

The Cross Creek Blues Club has had generous offers of support from many of the pubs and cafes in South Wairarapa. This is gratifying and it demonstrates not only the very special community spirit that exists in Wairarapa, but also the regard in which the Blues Club, and our musicians are held.

Wednesday 2nd March was our first club night for 2016. It was our privilege to be hosted by The White Swan Hotel in Greytown. We showcased American Blues Momma Ruth Wyand in her ‘Backroads, Bottlenecks and Blues Tour” in this beautiful and historic venue.

In April, Cross Creek Blues Club will have the pleasure of being the guests of The Village Café in Martinborough, which will be the setting for the return of Australian virtuoso of acoustic roots and blues, Nick Charles.
“His mastery of country blues is striking!” Rhythms Magazine.

He has toured the USA to critical acclaim and performed at the Edinburgh Festival. His music draws on the finger-style magic and lyrical charm of the pre-war acoustic blues masters, but also encompasses a mix of blues inspired folk and ragtime jazz. “He plays guitar like an angel!” Sydney Morning Herald.

Nick Charles has toured with many notable musicians including Guy Clarke, John Hammond, Robyn Ford, Junior Wells and BB King. This concert promises “dazzling guitar, muscular vocals and clever literate writing” Little Rock AR,
