The Australian Blues site is 4 years old!
The site search works again!
The Australian Blues site now has a new address! A lot of work has gone
in to preparing the site for this move so I'm glad it's now mostly over.
Please change all old bookmarks to the new address:
http://www.blues.org.au/.
The Australian Blues site is the final result of the research being
performed by the Australian Blues Project, which now has a web home at
http://blues.org.au/. If you are interested
in assisting the project with its research activities, please contact the
project coordinator.
Tweaked the layout slightly after discovering some strange elements
hidden away. Nothing should look overtly different, just a little cleaner.
Restructured entire site, so please let me know if anything is obviously
broken...
If you are a blues band and you are searching for a home for a simple
web site, drop me a note and maybe I can help
you. Some interesting things are happening here at the Australian Blues site
so watch this space...

Congratulations to Geoff Achison for winning the jazz/blues category
of the Australian Songwriters Association Awards.
Some people may have noticed significant disruption to this site in recent
weeks for which I do apologise. There is major infrastructure work happening
behind the scenes which should result in a better and faster site, although
the site will not change visually. Unfortunately, in the short term this
means that there will be problem periods when the site may or may not function
correctly. Please be patient.
Also, once the infrastructure work is completed, the URL of the site will
be changing. The precise URL is not yet known, but it will be more intuitive
than the current. More details will be forthcoming very soon.
Added Kate Meehan (thanks Kate).
Added Eureka Files - Matthew Tilders (thanks Sam).
Added Live At The Bridge - Buzz 'n' the Blues Band.

Added Don't Ask Me - Brian Fraser, The Tasmanian Tapes - Turning Blue.
The Australian Blues site has been nominated for the
Best Music Industry Internet Resource award of the inaugural
Australian Music Online Awards, the ONYA Awards.
Since you are here, you obviously want to go to the ONYA awards site and
vote for the Australian Blues site now!
Even if you don't wish to vote for the Australian Blues site, go vote
for some site anyway. Help make the ONYA Awards a success.
