18.01.2022 This page is in progress but we want you to be involved so please read now! GosBlues 2016 February 19-21 Multiple venues in the Gosford LGA Applications are now open for the inaugural GosBlues 2016, a free three day Gosford LGA Blues, Jazz & Roots Festival.... GosBlues 2016 is to be held over the weekend of February 19 to 21 in multiple venues in the Gosford LGA. Presented by Central Coast Newspapers and Trad&Now, GosBlues will be centred in seven venues in the Gosford CBD with another six venues in surrounding areas. GosBlues 2016 will start at 6pm on Friday, February 19 and will continue through to midnight on the Friday, 11am to midnight on the Saturday, and again from 11am to 10pm on Sunday, February 21. Entry to all venues will be free but volunteer collectors will be seeking a gold coin donation for Coast Shelter at most venues. Each participating GosBlues venue will have a PA set up with someone to operate it. It will also feature master classes and workshops in Gosford. Sessions at times when main stages are not being used will also be encouraged. Buskers in Gosford CBD are welcome throughout the weekend and an under 18s venue will run a GosBlues Youth event with winners to perform on main stages in the bigger venues. If you are interested in performing at GosBlues 2016 send your bio, contact details and a link to your YouTube, face book or website so we can see and hear what your act is like to [email protected]. Include a postal address so we can send you an agreed payment and advise if you would like to present a workshop on any relevant item. Each booked out will have up to 4 X one hour gigs at different venues and a one hour workshop if they wish. Each act is encouraged to sell their own CDs and other merchandise and to add their CDs, on consignment, to the Trad&Now on-line shop for world wide exposure and sale. GosBlues 2016 is seeking to present a wide variety of Blues, Jazz and Roots music giving priority to the more unusual styles. We are looking for acts that have something different to offer in order to change the present image of Blues in particular being boring chunka chunka twelve bar blues all sounding the same, or it being just like Rock n Roll. Solo acts up to multi member groups are welcome. Acts already booked include some of the most popular blues acts playing locally, Newcastle and Maitland as well as real deal performers from Tasmania and Victoria and a world class Gypsy Jazz group.

05.01.2022 GosBlues 2016 February 19-21 Multiple venues in the Gosford LGA Free entry to all venues GosBlues 2016 is a free, three day event presenting quality Blues, Jazz and Roots music in multiple venues in the Gosford business district and surrounds.... GosBlues 2016 will be held over the weekend of February 19 to 21 in many venues, most of which are in walking distance from each other in the Gosford business district. Presented by Central Coast Newspapers and Trad&Now, GosBlues will start at 6pm on Friday, February 19 and will continue through to midnight. On Saturday, February 20, free concerts will commence from 4pm and continue through to midnight. Free entertainment on Sunday, February 21 will commence at 1pm and continue until 7pm. Specially selected performers are coming to Gosford from many parts of Australia. Some of those with special expertise will also give free master classes and workshops in all aspects of blues, jazz and roots music, commencing at 12 noon on Saturday and again on Sunday. Entry to all venues will be free, but volunteer collectors will be seeking a gold coin donation for Coast Shelter at all venues. What could be more appropriate than Blues fans donating to Coast Shelter for the benefit of the many homeless people on the Coast? Blues helping people with the blues could very well become the events motto. GosBlues 2016 is seeking to present a wide variety of Blues, Jazz and Roots music giving priority to the more unusual styles. Acts are being selected because they have something different to offer with many reproducing traditional forms of Blues and Jazz from the early nineteen hundreds while others will present music that has had a European influence on Jazz and Blues adding different rhythms. There will of course also be the more common blues bands for those that like it rocky and the Jazz component will include Gypsy Jazz, Trad Jazz, a Jug band and much more. Full details of all venues and performers will be announced soon and all who are interested in music are encouraged to set this weekend aside as something special not to be missed. GosBlues is expecting to be an annual free event and to grow each year for as long as it is supported by large numbers of music fans and local businesses keen to see such an exciting event centred in the Gosford Central Business District.
