This Week: 26 July 2012

You better watch out, you better not cry…  You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why...
It's Christmas in July!!  at Swing Pit, Newtown, this Friday at 9pm.  Be happy, Christmas has come early!  Down the road at the Landsdowne, rescheduled from last week, is Jump Jive and Wail - dance ‘til 2am, if you dare.  Saturday, if you're in the mood for some upbeat boogie woogie, check out The Jive Bombers at Ashfield RSL.  Sunday, Geoff Bull & the Finer Cuts, East Sydney Hotel, or head over to Marrickville Golf Club for some toe-tapping, old-time jazz with the Swinging Blades...  and yes, there's a dance floor!

... He sees you when you’re sleepin’, he knows when you’re awake, he knows if you’ve been dancing, so… let's swing for goodness sake!
