WHITE MINK at Christmas Spiegeltent, Bristol

The sounds and style of the 1920s and 30s turned upside down and smuggled into the 21st Century... Following yet another sell-out success last year, the legendary event that needs almost no introduction, White Mink, returns with inimitable style to Christmas at Spiegeltent. The hottest vintage speakeasy this side of 1940 delights and entertains with the BEST in live jive, jazz and electro swing music. With an irrefutable reputation for trail-blazing our unique brand of "supremely decadent" debauchery across the continent to astounding success, this is more than just a club night, more than just a cabaret night, more than just a live music event. The MAGIC that is White Mink is undeniable, and yet - you HAVE to see it to believe it. Expect an electrifying cocktail of superb live music, dancers, cabaret, DJs and a TRULY evocative experience. This night sells out very FAST so BOOK EARLY to avoid crushing disappointment. ---------- VENUE: Christmas at the SPIEGELTENT, Waterfront Square, Bristol Harbourside, off Canons Way, BRISTOL BS1 5LL The Christmas Spiegeltent is sited between Bordeaux Quay and Lloyds Amphitheatre, next to Millennium Square.

His story is the stuff of mythical urban folklore, from days spent Lost in Vagueness to nights found knee deep in the antique beats of Shangri-La. His records come with the dust of a thousand mad all-night magical festivals, over fifteen years, all over Europe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_CCkJHJd3w ★ LEE PAYNE - TAP DANCER The spectacular dancing of Lee Payne has inspired many dancers to get their tap shoes on! Leaving no stone unturned this cat is deeply musical and expressive, always on the edge, always pushing the boundaries of rhythm to new heights through his feet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUMsblOYm_I ★ ALEXANDRA HOFGARTNER - AERIALIST With flawless feminine éclat, Alexandra Hofgartner creates sophisticated and beautiful contemporary aerial circus and performance art.
