S L I V O B I T C H E S



- Storming Balkan band straight outta Stokey. Bring on a brass fuelled party like you've never experienced before. Featuring members of London Gypsy Orchestra, Penny Orchids, Delicatessen, Worldly Savages and more... They literally had to cross the road to get here! Come and support them in their endeavours.



B O D Y S T O C K I N G B L U E S B A N D



- A ramshackle collective of super hot blues musicians from London and Bristol. Feat. Miss Ellie on keys with Catt Turney (you may have caught these guys at the Ritzy 4th Birthday Party) and Kai (Toy Town Hussle and Others) on accoustic drum 'n' bass as a solid upgrade from your usual mellow duo.



DJ T R A C Y K A R K U T - L A W



- Without a doubt one of London's favourite blues DJs, Tracy is set to throw down the party blues, funk, and soul tunes for us to get our dance on until Midnight



F L U F F



- Fluff is king of the after party. Organiser of European Blues Invasion, Blues it or Fuse it, and a key player in the international Blues Scene, Fluff has really set the bar high for the late night party, and will be keeping us on our up beat feet until close out.

BLUES DANCE

Blues dance is a relaxed partner dance with roots in African American dancing from the early 20th century. It's focused on connection with your partner, grooving the blues groove, and letting the music move you. It can be funky, upbeat, down beat, danced close, danced on your own, danced all the ways, super fast super slow, and Even danced on other music (like a Balkan band!) it's pretty goddam awesome, and probably the most relaxed jazz dance you'll come across. Come along to the taster class to warm yourself up for an evening of full on dancing, on your own or with another human. No partner required.
