A wee update from Cupar Blues and Beyond. Check the dates below for some great acts coming up between now and May…
The Blues and Beyond Club is a company limited by guarantee (providing no profits to its members) and was set up in February 2005 with the specific objectives of
- Keeping music Live
- Having a good time
- Donating to charity when reserves allowed
Since 2005 we have provided over 65 sessions with the opportunity for over 50 different bands and solo acts to appear with some appearing more than once .Our policy is to bring bands back which were popular but also find new acts . Most of your ticket price goes to paying the bands with the remainder covering administrative expenses which we keep to a minimum.
Gradually our reputation for providing good quality music in a friendly atmosphere has spread and we are now regular participants in the Fife Jazz and Blues Festival in February. Also in February we have been invited to host the Scottish Regional heat of the New Brunswick Tourist Boards battle of the bands.
Over the next few months we hope to provide you with a good mix of acts but we can only do so with your continued support .Part of our ability to continue has been due to our patrons being willing to buy tickets in advance .Our policy is to try to give regulars a discount of £2 for tickets bought in advance .Our programme for the next few months is
