Have you ever heard Duke Ellington's Jazz standard “Caravan” performed as a huge Garage banger? Or a 12 bar Blues manipulated into a Half time DnB/Carnival anthem? Or a New Orleans funeral song turned into a whisky soaked mid tempo Breaks dancefloor destroyer? We know you haven’t because there’s only one band in the entire world like these guys! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU0QSkrUCXE Big R Big Band A 16 piece traditional big band with nationwide shows under their belt shall be providing a fantastic sound track for all those Swing dancers out there. Dashing, debonair, dandy and dapper, the classic swing tunes of the 30's and 40's are looking, and sounding, pretty damn good! Count Skylarkin One of the finest selectors in this country and a local hero to Oxford. Count Skylarkin will be playing an original set of Swing and Rock n Roll in the bar area. ---------------------------------------------- We'll have DJ's playing original Swing/Lindy Hop/Jazz and Electro Swing. And of course we'll have an appropriate headliner. Line up TBA ▼▼▼▼ THE VENUE ▼▼▼▼ We love using unique venues, a dreary smelly nightclub is not exactly our idea of fun (our Cardiff event is being held in an old 1920s bank, shhhh that's currently a secret!) and so we couldn't throw a party in such a beautiful city without having such a a beautiful venue to match!
