The Wellington Bluegrass Society (WBS) has been in existence for 17 years. From the beginning the emphasis has been on providing authentic (mainly acoustic) music in many genres - for a fun, friendly and supportive audience of music lovers.

All meetings are held at 54 Richmond Street, Petone, adjacent to the Petone Community Library - the best little acoustic venue around! Plenty of parking in the John Peel Public Carpark.

Tea, coffee, quality cakes, biscuits and slices are all provided free. A licensed kitchen allows you to purchase a glass of wine, beer or soft drink.

WBS Society nights - usually 3rd Friday of the month year round, 8:30 p.m. $10 per adult - $5 children

Other concerts are scheduled during the year - with details notified to everyone on the WBS mailing list.

The easiest way to be reminded of all events is to sign up for the mailing list - please send your request to be put on the list via a MySpace Message - or if not a MySpace member you can use your normal email to bluegrass(at)paradise.net.nz. Provide your email address or other way you would like to be contacted.
