Some of the photos taken during our performance at the Double Header last Thursday night. With grateful thanks to the photographer.
Thank you Velvet Tones for inviting us to join you as the Double Header guest band last night.
Thanks also to the swing dancers who packed the dance floor! What an atmosphere!
We had a brilliant night!

Due to circumstances beyond our control it is with reluctance that we are having to cancel the show which was due to be held on Saturday 13th June.
We have tried to find ways of making this years show viable but its not to be unfortunetly.
Tonight's rehearsal was absolutely crackin'!
We are really looking forward to joining our friends the Velvet Tones on Thursday night for the Double Header. Hope to see you there!
We are really looking forward to joining our friends The Velvet Tones at their Double Header on 19th March!

I play the Teletubbies theme tune in the style of a South American dance.
