Winter is upon us, and we'd all love to keep warm, somehow. That's right, you know what to do. Saturday, make your way over to Swing at The Roxbury for a night of keeping warm, and dancing, of course. First Sunday of the month, so join the crowd vying for the dance floor at Unity Hall, Balmain, with the Dan Barnett Big Band. If you're on the other side of town then drop in to see Geoff Bull and the Finer Cuts at the East Sydney Hotel. Why not start the week with a few swing outs, you can see Cope St Parade & The Finer Cuts at 505, Surry Hills on Monday. For a dose of blues, the Swing Patrol Juke Joint is on next Thursday at the Bedlam Bar, Glebe.
