Fantastic night last night - 20 of us saw the fabulous Casablanca big band at Woonona Bulli RSL! How often can you see around 20 fabulous musicians and singers performing 1940's style songs these days - there should be more of it! The room is huge and it was packed, so there is definitely a need for a revival of this style of music.

If you don't do Swing dancing, we're sure you'll still be able to do some Rock n Roll to a lot of the songs. It's called A Night in Casablanca, and it's a stylish evening of live music inspired by the golden age of swing and classic Hollywood cinema. Featuring a FULL BIG BAND and vocalists, the show celebrates the music of artists such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole and many more. I'll be purchasing tickets on Friday (31st July) and organising a table for us, so please let us know if you are coming prior to that date.
