WOW! Someone turned up the heat, but Paper Moon dancers appeared as they promised, impeccably turned out (vintage & modern) and danced the whole moon through... You truly are the BEST!

A huge thank you from all of us to Ali Affleck and The Traveling Janes for their stomping sets that had us all tossing away our fans for a place on the dance floor!

Our hearty thanks also to Dan Guest who expertly measured the temperature of the room and balanced it with his choice of swinging tracks.

And to my wonderful team, in July: Aletheia & Conrad on the door. Jon for his muscle and The Seamstress of Bloomsbury for the lovely fans! To Jyothi for the fabulous cakes and to the legends, Steve, Ajay, Andrea and Dave.
Finally, to the staff at our venue, Hargrave Hall, our behind the scenes partners and supporters - thank you for all the extra work to ensure our event went well.

Enjoy your summer and we look forward very much to seeing you all back at Hargrave Hall on Sunday 18 October. Mark your diaries. Full details coming very soon!

Our heartfelt thanks to The Seamstress of Bloomsbury who have stepped in to keep us looking (and feeling) cool this Sunday!

They have kindly sent us 50 personal fans that you flutter while you chat and tuck into a pocket while you dance.

We also have several floor fans to keep the air light and flowing, as well as water on tap.

Do bring towels and changes of clothes/tops to stay fresh for yourself and everyone else.

Remember: hot jazz is the music - cool is you!
