Old Duke Swing Fest 2019

Date: Saturday, Jun 22 2019
Time: 1:30pm
Venue: Old Duke

The much loved Swing Fest returns to The Old Duke for another afternoon of authentic, foot-tapping, jive-talking jazz & swing. Dance your heart out or watch the spectacle. A free event headlined by The Jack Calloway Dance Band in their first return to The Old Duke following their show at The Bristol Old Vic, the festival is ten hours of the best Bristol swing bands.

1:30pm to 3pm  Scarlet Muses
4pm to 5:30pm  The Peanut Shuffle Club
6:30pm to 8pm  JJ Gatsby
9pm to 11pm  The Jack Calloway Dance Band

Swing Dance Bristol are offering a workshop that morning ahead of the festival. The first part of the workshop will concentrate on building confidence in social dancing, before moving on to teach the full Tranky Doo routine, one of the popular solo jazz routines you’ll have seen at dance nights. Then go and perform it the same afternoon at The Old Duke Swing Festival.

11am-3pm, Upstairs studio, Southbank Club, Dean Lane, BS3 1DB
£20 / £15 concessions. Advance booking required.
