This modest club is already well known for their support for local nationally known blues bands.
They are paying the band so no cover charge. It's a private club so even though they serve alcohol (very cheap) kids can also come in.
Membership not required to attend the music events.
What we have in mind is a Hafla...so, please come dance, practise to live music, wear your costume and let's have fun!

The last time this band played the club, a couple of belly dance enthusiasts who attended the gig told me that they
really, really enjoyed dancing to Hejira’s jazzy Middle Eastern music.
They told me that they are going to announce to their belly dancing friends about this gig and hope to generate a floor full of belly dancers. Don’t tell me that you can pass this event up!
It’s different from the usual music you hear at the Salmon Bay Eagles, but you also know that this writer has a pretty good ear for fine music, even if he’s a dunderhead at times.
Come on down and watch a great show and hear some fabulous music… quick, before they are discovered and are too expensive for our music budget!
This may be your last chance, so jump on it!
