This Week: 18 October 2012

So you stay up late just swingin' those moves all night, goody goody...
You think that swing's a barrel of dynamite...
Hooray and hallelujah, you had it comin' to ya...  
Goody goody for you, goody goody for me...  Check these goodies out!

This Friday, energise your socks off at Jump Jive and Wail at the Landsdowne Hotel, for free...  'til late!  Aston Martinis are on at Club Five Dock RSL for some kinda cool swing... via Vegas?  Saturday, can't get too much of a good thing... so what's another swing out or 2 (million)... Swing at the Roxbury, Glebe!   (Purists, look away now) ...the Jive Bombers are at Five Dock RSL if you want to 'boogie' your 'woogie'... (OK purists, continue reading now).  Sunday, celebrate at the 40th Anniversary Gig of the Unity Hall Jazz Band, at that place with carpet(!!), in Balmain.  Also, Geoff Bull 'cutting his finest' at East Sydney Hotel, and the Bronte Bowling Club 'swinging its Sunday' in the arvo.  Next Thursday, Sydney Sound Big Band at the Rockdale RSL delivering some fetching 'standards'.  Goody goody...

So, have a dance this week!
