Heaven, I'm in heaven... and the cares that hung around me through the week, seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak, when we're out together dancing cheek to cheek....
If you're in the mood for the great outdoors this long weekend, make your way over to the Manly Jazz Festival, (link to the program and map below).
Friday, the Swing Pit crew in Newtown are ready to get your weekend off to a swinging start. This year the Deco Dance is on Friday at the Marrickville Hardcourt Tennis Club with DJs and Geoff Bull's band.
Saturday, Australian Swing Dance Championships will be at Petersham RSL. If you're feeling abundantly energetic there's Harbourside Jump at the Bar at the End of the Wharf. 'Round midnight, SLX Uplate is over at the Camelot Lounge with the Cope Street Parade playing!
Sunday, if you're in the area, The Moods are playing at the Mona Vale Bowling Club. Geoff Bull will be cutting it with his finest at East Sydney Hotel. Get into your best PJs Sunday night and stay up late with Hetty Kate from Melbourne at PJam, Camelot Lounge.
Monday, more Manly Jazz. Tuesday, back to work for some rest...
Thursday, Swing Patrol Juke Joint at the Bedlam Bar, Glebe, for your fix of blues...
