Another Speakeasy is planned for the late night part of the Sydney Festival First Night. It’ll be at the Crossover studios, begin at 11pm and run til late. It’s $10 entry donation to cover costs (this is a nonprofit party rather than a profit-making event) and you’ll get lots of fun music and delicious food for that price. BYO drinks.
This time there’ll be two rooms – blues in the back and the regular party room – but the main room will lean a little more towards lindy hop than soul and funk. I’m DJing again in the main room (12.45-1.30 or so), and I’m going to drop most of the soul/funk, but hang onto the early RnB, upenergy blues songs (blues as in structure and style, not blues as in ‘blues dancing’… though WHATEVER). If you’ve got questions, search for ‘speakeasy’ on FB.
Saturday will be a big night, as Tuba Skinny are roving the streets during the evening. TUBA SKINNY, people, TUBA SKINNY.
