Are there enough of you CBGers out there to put on an annual CBG/Blues festival?
Maybe a "Juke Joint" Night somewhere, say once a month, in different places. . .
anybody had experience in this area in Queensland?

Sounds great Paul.
I gig about a bit and have recently added the CBG into my sets. I'd love to get something happening.
An annual festival sounds cool.
I have contacts here in Brisbane. We could take it on the road and do the Sunny Coast, Gold Coast and Brisbane.
Be good if we could all get together socially, for a feed and a jam where we can swap ideas and meet face to face.
If the whole thing was set up like a "club" meeting, then we could hold it in a variety of places from goldie to noosa and the hinterland along the way as well. That would generate a lot of interest in the general public and introduce them to our fat sound and create a following of sorts. . the annual festival etc. would follow as a natural progression once everyone's had a taste. . .
