We've been on the hunt for quite a while now for the right venue for a regular swing
event with the band, ever since the Crouch End Music Palace was rejigged and
turned into an arthouse cinema (they weren't really on board with our plan to produce
an old school Down for the Count silent comedy flick for some reason – maybe it
was the horn section custard pie fight). Luckily, it seems we've struck gold
over in East London, and so this Wednesday we invite you to come on
down to Bar Music Hall for our very
first Shoreditch Swing Out!
In a way, we're all
pushing the boat out a bit with this one - Bar
Music Hall is a prestigious venue, having hosted a number of class acts
over the years, but embracing the swing thing is a relatively new direction for
them. But with one of London's classiest young swing orchestras and the talented minds behind Swing Patrol London knocking on their door, what could possibly go
wrong?
And what a night we
have planned! The event itself is completely free - just wander along and stop
in if you fancy an evening of fantastic swing music, with petticoats, victory
rolls and lindy hops galore. If you fancy getting into the swing of things (hee
hee) even more, a paltry five pounds will net you a cracking dance lesson with
those Aussie wonders from Swing Patrol.
I mean really – what more could you want of an evening?
Great music, great atmosphere, great company – and hey, even if you can’t make
this month, we’ll be back again in September! So there’s really no excuse. Dig
out those dancing shoes, put on your best vintage clothes, and two-step down to
Shoreditch to boogie on down like it’s 1929.
