Thanks and Happy New Year! (almost)

22 December, 2011

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of the artists who have performed for COMA this year. The quality of musicianship and original music has been outstanding in 2011, which makes us very excited to see what 2012 will bring. A big thanks also to the audiences who conmtinue to support these artists and this organisation. COMA now has over 100 members!

We're back at the Wheaty as normal on the first monday in January (2nd) with swinging organ trio Lazy Eye and, back from NYC to launch his new album, guitarist Quentin Angus. A great opening to what looks to be an excellent summer program. Stay tuned for more details, including our special events during the fringe.

Thanks again, and have a safe and joyous festive season!
