About BOP BLUES CLUB INC

BOP Blues Club is a live blues club based at the Rotorua Citizens Club, 1146 Rangiuru Street, Rotorua. It was established in 2006 to promote blues music in the Bay of Plenty, and it runs JAM nights where local and visiting blues bands play. A feature band, raffles and a musicians' draw are part of the night. Musicians can get a stage slot by putting their name on the White Board when they arrive. The club's restaurant opens at 6 pm, and music starts at 7.30 pm.

The club has run a blues festival since 2011, which was rebranded as the NZ Blues and BBQ Festival in 2022, and it now runs in the last weekend of November each year. The club's patron is Sir Midge Marsden, the New Zealand blues performer. The club's secretary, Di Riddel, can be reached on 027 228 3348, and the music and booking contact, Paul Hindrup, on 021 348 890.
