This Week: 7 June 2012

This week ... catch the monthly "blues" social dancing at the Swing Patrol Juke Joint this Thursday, Bedlam Bar, Glebe.

Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worries on the doorstep...  It's the long weekend, AND the Darling Harbour Jazz & Blues Festival is on.  Join in on the opening festivities and fellow dancers in the street party led by Geoff Bull's band, winding through Darling Harbour to Tumbalong Park Saturday morning.  Plenty of bands playing Sat-Mon.  See "Ben's picks" for the festival.

Can't you hear the pitter-pat, and that happy tune is your step...  If you want to start your weekend-of-dancing early, head over to Swing Pit, Newtown, Friday night - you've got your DJs to keep you warm...
