This Week: 16 August 2012
I love the east, I love the west, the north and south they're both the best, but I'll only go there as a guest, 'cause I love swinging out with you...
This Friday, Jump Jive and Wail is back at the Landsdowne Hotel, for some high-energy fun. Saturday, make it a night out and head over to Swing at the Roxbury, Glebe. The legendary Australian jazz band Galapagos Duck will be at Penrith RSL Saturday afternoon, if you're way out west. Sunday, perhaps a relaxing trip up north to Avalon Beach for The Moods, or down south to Cronulla for The Jive Bombers. For 'non-travellers' try an afternoon at East Sydney Hotel with Geoff Bull and the Finer Cuts; or over to Balmain for the Unity Hall Jazz Band.
Wherever you might be this weekend, take your dancing shoes with you, and have a dance!
