After an amazing first three months of 2020, we're sorry to say that we won't be running any more events until the current restrictions are lifted.

We're looking forward to seeing all that pent-up dancing energy on the dance floor when we re-open!

Meantime, we are running monthly streaming events from our Facebook group where our top 78 DJs take turns to pep up your ears, and hopefully your feet, with the best jazz music on the original shellac records!

You can find a link to the group address on our Contacts page!

Stay well, and keep dancin'!
