Club Mixing Desk For Sale
The Club's Alto AMX-180FX mixing desk is for sale. This is a perfectly good desk. We have mixed many national and international acts using it with fantastic results. The problem is purely that many of our acts require more inputs than we are able to provide with this desk. It would be perfect for a solo, duo or small band.
Hence we are offering it for sale at the bargain price of $150, email .

Annual General Meeting and
Club Night
The Club celebrates the completion of our 4th year on this night with our AGM
commencing at 7pm. Please come along and be a witness to this very important
part of our evolution.
We are always looking for people who want to take the next step and be a part of
the committee that makes the activites of the BFC happen. If you think that
this may be you, please contact us.
Following the AGM we will conduct our monthly Club Night. These evenings
provide members and guests with an
opportunity to share their music in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
These night's attract novices performing for the first time outside of
the comfort of their bedrooms, and seasoned artists. Many friends are
made and ongoing collaborations are established.
If you are not a muso, you are welcome as well, you
can come along and listen and enjoy the music and friendship.
Come along, listen, participate. All in exchange for a gold coin donation.
