The Black Mountain JB hails from Canberra, Australia's capital city, but of late has ceased operation as a band, but combines with the Bridge City JB on occasions to form a six or seven piece band....
This Wednesday 9th March is one of those occasions....
The Black Mountain, Bridge City Connection......
The SJC runs their monthly lunchtime concert at the Sydney Flying Squadron..."Squaddies"...at 76 McDougall Street, Milsons Point on the waterfront and beside the Ensemble Theatre....
Where is "Squaddies".... "X" marks the spot....

The gig starts at 12.30pm , finishing at 3pm...admission charge is $10 paid at the door and there is a  bar service and nice luncheons are available to purchase....

Hope to see you there...
