Our monthly swing dance night returns with more live music for a flappin' swanky, shoe shuffling fun time! The evening starts with 1 hour class (all levels welcome) and is followed by a live band and Swing Patrol DJs playing the best in vintage style swing for you to partner up! This month featuring wonderful seven-piece, The Silver Ghosts.

The Silver Ghosts are a seven piece swing ensemble evoking the breathless and high spirited dance gigs of the 1920s to 1940s. In the period to which the band are paying tribute, larger ensembles that were able to play 'unplugged' were naturally much more common, which is why the band remain committed to performing as the extended seven piece lineup. Despite the changes in culture, economics and technology, The Silver Ghosts recreate the authentic ensemble swing jazz sound.
