BASEQ is a non-profit association with a charter to promote the awareness and appreciation of Blues music in SEQ. This means providing members with a Blues music information network as well as fostering and encouraging an increase in live performances of Blues music for everyone to participate in and enjoy and appreciate.
BASEQ publishes a Blues magazine “The Groove” each month (11 times a year) for members. It lets you, our members, know what’s happening in and around Brisbane, intrastate, interstate and overseas. It provides reviews, CD launches, and an opportunity for advertising (public and corporate). "The Groove" gives details of upcoming Blues gigs for the month. "The Groove" is available electronically or via hard copy to members of BASEQ. Each week members of BASEQ receive information on blues gigs in and around Brisbane via email. If you don't receive the Gig Guide, please send an email to dha57764@gmail.com so that your email address can be checked and, if required, incorporated into the distribution list.

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
THE BASEQ MEMPHIS BLUES CHALLENGE 2012
It is the intention of the Blues Association of South East Queensland to send ONE (either a band or solo/duo act), blues ambassador to the International Blues Challenge (IBC) in Memphis, to be held from 29th January to the 2nd February 2013.
This is a prestigious event with the winner gaining a wealth of experience and recognition.
To enable BASEQ to proceed, we would like know how many Blues acts would be interested, available and able to compete.
Selection will be based on the International Blues Challenge criteria. Original work is considered essential.
The BASEQ has booked the Mansfield Tavern, 181 Wecker Rd, Mansfield, on Saturday 1st September, for the BASEQ Memphis Blues Challenge.
The BASEQ will provide substantial funding towards the cost of attending the IBC as well as assist the successful act to fundraise additional money towards the cost of attending.
The BASEQ committee is very excited about sponsoring a local Blues act to compete in the IBC. It will open doors for huge opportunities and international recognition. We hope you share our enthusiasm.
If you are interested, please contact Gary Garnham on 0450 718 455 or email bluesgaz@gmail.com
