Harlem at the Little Big Weekend

Saturday 6 May Soors open 8.30pm Andrew Dickeson's Jazz Family Band Ashfield Polish Club ballroom, 73 Norton St, Ashfield $40 (incl. with Everything & Party Passes). Balboa's in town: let's do this properly. We take advantage of the Polish Club Ballroom's raised seating, expansive dance floor, and full stage to bring you a night of dinner and dancing. Dress to impress, in the best tradition of 1930s and 40s night clubs, find a table, and prepare yourself for a night of solid, swinging jazz. The Little Big Weekend 5-7 May 2017 is not resting on its musical laurels. We are stepping up, inspired by the ballrooms and night clubs of LA and Harlem, balboa and lindy hop. Andrew Dickeson will be presenting his usual Blue Rhythm Band combo, BUT he will also be leading his musicians in a second band inspired by Benny Goodman. What does this mean for you? A little something for everyone: higher tempos, lower tempos, all swinging like a well-oiled gate. A dance floor that's broad and smooth as a dining table. A night that is guaranteed to send you home with happy feet.
