25.01.2022 1984 Here we are in September 2020 and there's still no let-up to the COVID-19 restrictions. Our Government Masters (hang on a minute, aren't they supposed to be working for us?) have put the stoppers on daily life in so many ways. Live music has been subjected to a massive shutdown and our ability to socialise in a live music-enhanced environment has been curtailed. Small venues have been hardest hit; our own venue, the Candelo Hotel, is highly unlikely to be able to present... live music in any form before next year. Some artists (e.g. bands) have been able to stage online, "unsociably" distanced, politically correct performances for those willing to participate in cyberspace and accept a "virtual reality" facsimile of the real thing. But what about music jam clubs and societies such as the CBC? A jam is ALL about people (musicians and punters) being physically together to make and embrace live music in the moment, off-the-cuff, unrehearsed and authentic. You just can't do that in cyberspace. What are we to do about this deplorable situation? Perhaps we need to petition our political masters and ask them to reconsider how many of our freedoms they intend to deny us. One is reminded of the world pictured in George Orwell's novel, "1984". Bring back live music!

11.01.2022 Hello out there! We're still here, hibernating, waiting for the storm to pass so we can get on with celebrating the blues, live, in the moment, amongst friends. We recently polled our mailing list friends and were gratified to receive quite a bit of feedback. All of it positive and with many suggestions about possible alternative ways to bring the jam back until we can resume in our home at the Candelo Hotel. Thank you, all, for your contributions and messages of support. We... will be back. We don't know when. But when the time is right, we are ready. In the meantime, stay safe, encourage one another, and get your blues via audio, video, podcast or whatever other magical contraptions you may have at your disposal. Candelo Blues Club Nothin' But The Blues!

08.01.2022 It is with regret that we announce that the Candelo Blues Club is going into forced hibernation for the foreseeable future. At least until the COVID-19 pandemic has run its course. We wish everyone well. Stay safe and enjoy some home time with the hi-fi and the blues.
