Chris' baptism of fire continued as The Jukes were busy during June and his ability to learn on the job was a fantastic asset to the band as we were playing more gigs than having rehearsal sessions.

Gigs at Grand Central and the Cock & Bull Pub (in Lynfield, where The Jukes will be starting a residency stint in August) preceded a shared gig with the Gary Harvey Band at Club Groove in Newmarket.

Club Groove is one of Auckland's newest live music venues, but Gary Harvey is one of New Zealand's longest severing bluesmen and he and his band dish up a high octane mix of blues and rock and roll. 

To share the bill and the stage with Gary and his boys have been one of the highlights of The Jukes career to date.

A big vote of thanks must go out from the band to Mike, who filled in on drums for our gig at the Dogs Bollix, who again did a fine job with minimal rehearsal time with the rest of the band.

Playing again at The Crest Hotel and Grand Central signal the start of an extremely busy period for The Jukes, with The Jukes confirmed as playing the Bay of Islands Jazz and Blues Festival, the Sonny Day Tribute show and a host of other gigs.
