This Week: 11 October 2012

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to, why don't you go where swinging sits, puttin' on the ritz...

This Friday, for your fill of dancing, make your way to Swing Pit, Newtown.  Special guest teacher, Tom Frazier, joins Trish for the class beforehand.  Saturday, catch up for a meal, and then lindy the night away at Swing at the Roxbury, Glebe.  Sunday, the Dan Barnett Quartet is playing at Sydney Rowing Club, Abbotsford; Geoff Bull at East Sydney Hotel, Woolloomooloo; if you're in the area the Horns Plus Big Band at Lane Cove Plaza 2:30pm; some toe-tapping old-time jazz at Marrickville Golf Club 3:30pm, try out your balboa and/or stamina on the dance floor.  For a "listening" treat this weekend, the Glenn Miller Orchestra and Count Basie Orchestra will be in town at the State Theatre and Opera House, respectively. 

More details, links, and gigs below.
