Fri 20 Feb

Party at Mr Falcon's Bar
(see Venues page)
7pm-midnight
Dress: casual

It's Friday, so let's wind down from the busy week with some brews and blues at the home of Sydney's regular Juke Joint Blues night. The downstairs bar serves tasty food (including a new pizza menu) and drinks so be sure to support the venue that is supporting us.

Dance upstairs to the DJ'd music. Please note that the upstairs dance floor is modest in size so take the opportunity to c
hill-out and catch-up with friends old and new in the other funky rooms (downstairs and upstairs) as well. All rooms upstairs are reserved exclusively for us while downstairs is open to the public as well. A non-blues band will be playing downstairs so there are plenty of options to keep us entertained!

The best dancing at a blues weekend is on the last night right? You've learnt a bunch of stuff at the workshops, you're super relaxed, you've made some new friends, and most importantly, you've got your mojo workin'. Let's cap off a great weekend with a wind-down party at The Flynn.
The Flynn are looking after us and will be serving pizzas and will have special cocktails so please support the venue that is supporting us.

As well as awesome DJ music, we have locked in
Big Blind Ray and the Good Time Rhythm n Blues Band! You might want to consider taking Monday off work as you won't want to leave before closing! So come and eat, drink, dance and wax lyrical with friends old and new about how good the weekend has been.
