The Whanganui Musicians Club will be rocking to the sounds of red hot rhythm & blues this weekend.
That is the original 1940s style R & B rather than the modern hip-hop variety and it will be delivered by a bunch of seasoned Auckland musicians known as the Flaming Mudcats.
The band will join local musicians Blue Vein and Isiah B Brunt from Australia to present the Bluesmad blues fest on Saturday night.
Flaming Mudcats drummer Ian Thomson says band members are looking forward to playing at a venue that has such a great reputation.
"We've heard great things about the Musicians Club and we are very much looking forward to playing there.
