The show starts at 7.30pm with an hour of open mike blackboard concert (i.e. all comers WELCOME - bring your instrument/s & we supply the PA & mics) and is followed by a special guest artist or group. We use local venues on the Kapiti Coast (cafes, bars etc). Venues change from time to time so its best to keep and eye on the website regularly or join our email list for regular updates.

KLMC events happen at a range of venues around town so its best to keep an eye on the website or in the “Whats On” column of the Kapiti Observer for details.

Some nights have the whole programme dedicated to a blackboard concert. This is a chance for locals to 'strut their stuff' and showcase their talent. Many successful performers have got their first exposure through nights like these.

We sometimes have other events like concerts, dedicated open-mic nights and our stunning music marathon to celebrate NZ Music Month each year

We aim to pay as much as the coffers will allow. The club is run with volunteer labour and after costs, what's left goes to paying good quality bands and artists to perform. It is never enough but it is our policy to aim as high as possible to give recognition to the hard work performers put into getting their talents to impressive standards.

We are always looking for new talent, and so please if you are interested in being part of the club, performing at our regular events or being a guest artist at club nights.
