Club member Stefan Brown wears his promoter hat tomorrow night with the second Shades of Chez Paree show at Taste Cafe, 80 Queen Street, Masterton starting at 7p.m.
For those of you too young to remember, Chez Paree was a popular Wellington venue during the contemporary folk music boom of the ’60s and ’70s where many fine musicians got their first experience of playing before an audience. Stefan and Taste owner, Dean, want to offer the same opportunities to today’s Wairarapa musicians, and audiences who appreciate Blues and folk. They hope this will become a regular fixture, given enough public support. So drop in for a coffee, or one of Dean’s special $20 meal deals, and enjoy the music. Phone (06) 370 1431 to book. Entry by gold coin donation.
Cross Creek Blues Club members Stefan and Sheldon at the first Shades of Chez Paree last month. Not sure if that’s Stefan’s actual “promoter hat”!
Tomorrow’s programme will include Anthony and Dianna (guitar and flute), Masterhuna (unplugged), Stefan and Fran (acoustic Blues and Jazz).
