Tweaked the website headers a little so they work better on your phone.
You're welcome.
We got asked on Facebook for more information about the HOT CLUB.
I've updated the website and the Facebook page with more details and here's a copy of the information:
The Oddfellows HOT CLUB is a monthly Jazz/Blues/Roots/Indie venue bringing live music to the Macleay Valley. Patrons sit at 1m circular cafe tables which seat six, and BYO everything, including drinks, snacks, plates, cups. There is no reserved seating, except for those with a disability. The venue has a capacity of 80. The shows are all ages events, however, please be aware that some artists may use colourful language. Ticket prices are per person,with the only discount being for MVAC members, when we have been able to negotiate this with the performers. Online bookings incur a 3% charge to recover fees imposed on MVAC by PayPal.
The Oddfellows HOT CLUB has hosted the following performers: George Washingmachine, Dan Barnett, Trishia Evy, Hat Fitz & Cara Robinson, Peter Baylor, Paul Bulanyi, The Satin Bowerbirds, Aunty HuHu and The Big Lazy, Joe Robinson, Klepta Klezm, Jan Preston, Amos Morris, Minnie Marks, Geoff Turnbull, The Escalators, Josh Needs, Anna Salleh, Funk Engine, The Date Brothers, Paul Robert Burton, Scott Cook, Lindsay Lou, Darren Jack, Vanishing Shapes, Lloyd Spiegel, Hat Fitz & Cara Robinson, Honey & Knives, Cyril B Bunter.
Thanks to those members who voted in the recent poll asking which days/nights best suited the audience for HOT CLUB gigs. The polls feature is only available to our members, due to the software implementation, which we hope will soon be lifted to allow everyone to participate.
Anyway, the results of the poll were 50/50 Friday/Saturday with hardly anyone keen on Sundays. Noted.
Reminder!
