The Bollix

The Dogs Bollix is an excellent music venue in Auckland New Zealand. And the rumour we hear is that on Thursday June 28th the Rick Bryant Trio are going to do their first gig in a very long time, and perhaps the first of a very limited run, as we understand it, due to recording commitments on Rick's next album. The man has been busy, and has a reportoire of new songs to perform for his fans. It is likely to be a door charge only event, but if I get enough emails, I may be able to get tickets for a very limited number of you that need to know you will get in.
