Gidday groovers.

We hear feedback occasionally that some of you beautiful music people think that gigs and shows held at the musos club are only open to club members. This is certainly not the case.

Any gig we advertise publicly is open to all comers. All you have to do is buy a ticket – they’re usually sold by the bands online these days, and we try to help you out by posting a link on the Southland Musicians Club Facebook page.

So if you see promo for a show at the club that you think might be right up your alley, you are totally welcome to buy a ticket and come down to our venue, the Rhythm Lounge, at 33 Preston Street. Look for the big Southland Musicians Club sign on the fence.

The Rhythm Lounge is a licensed venue with a great vibe, great sound system and a great bar. The club runs the bar but the venue itself is open to the public. We’d love to see you, and so would the bands who play there.

Here’s what’s on offer at the musos club Rhythm Lounge in coming weeks.

July 1: Jordan Luck Band. Sold out, sorry folks.

July 9: Get FOLKed! An open mic evening of traditional, contemporary and original folk music performed by local artists.  If you’re keen to get up and have a craic you can direct message the gals at Get FOLKed!
