As the originators of a speakeasy and swing revival, we are proud to be "taking clubland by storm" (The Daily Telegraph). We founded London's Electro Swing Club which blew up into a world-wide phenomena and are responsible for the eponymous, album-charting White Mink : Black Cotton (Electro Swing vs Speakeasy Jazz) CD series. We have curated numerous amazing festival stages annually from Glastonbury's Shangri La to Bestival's Spiegeltent, and we continue to promote sell-out UK shows by bands like Parov Stelar and Caravan Palace. We have a lot to live up to! Visit: http://www.whitemink.co.uk/
