This Week: 24 May 2012

It never rains, but it pours.  If you've managed to recover from the MTSB, then this week
will have you in a dilemma and flitting from one gig to the next.  Friday, get warmed up at Swing Pit, Newtown.  Sunday, Speakeasy Sundays is back at The Standard, Surry Hills, with the Cope St Parade.  (Use the dancers' discount code when booking, see below.) 

Also on Sunday, A tribute to Louis Prima - The King of Swing at The Vanguard, Newtown.  If you don't get a chance on the weekend to see Cope St Parade, then catch them next Wednesday at the Paddington RSL. 

Swap your couch, for your dance shoes.  Get out and have a dance!
