Huntly Musician's Club is a friendly, keen group of musos who meet on the first Thursday of every month at Huntly RSA, 42 William Street, Huntly. There's easy access to their larger room from either of 2 doors.

The club has been operating in various venues around Huntly for 15 years continuously and counting.... Mike Lynch & Greg Allen of "Rocky Rhodes" band between them provide the vocal P.A, lights, keyboard, drum kit, & bass rig. There's usually a couple of guitar amps available, but most guitarists bring their own instruments & effects.

It's an open mic night and we have soloists, groups etc and a willing and ever-changing collection of musicians that form impromptu groups- styles range through rock, pop, country, folk, reggae, r&b, funk, blues etc. A mix of covers & some originals is the norm, usually any act gets about 3 songs to perform on stage before we "change the guard"...

There's no charge at the door, and we have full use of the RSA facilities, plus the restaurant open for value meals, and usually start after 7.30 pm and run through to 10.30 pm. Children welcome, but must be accompanied by an adult if under 18.

Just turn up to perform, you don't need to book in, but for more details phone Mike on 027 621 4207, a/h 07 8287 329.  Email mnlynch58@gmail to get yourself on our email list for reminders.
