The Big Swing Manchester

22/04/2017

EVERY 4th SATURDAY @ THE FITZGERALD (8-1am):
Following on from last months debut, Mike will now be playing at The Fitzgerald every 4th Saturday, which is tonight. There isn't much space to dance but it's a lovely Speakeasy themed venue where you'll hear a great selection of Swing, Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Rock'n'Roll, Soul and modern tunes that fit as the night goes on. So if you're on a night out & looking for some good vibes ;) pop in & say hello!

Hi folks! Mike is heading over to Manchester this evening to DJ at The Fitzgerald, 8pm till 1am. Lots of Swing & Jazz with a serving of Funk & Soul for good measure. We haven't been to the venue before so don't know if there's much dancing space but thought we'd let you know in case you're looking for somewhere to go out tonight :)

Just like the secret drinking spots of the prohibition era, you’ll have to find our back street entrance to enjoy some of the finest cocktails in the city, served in 1920s glassware.

No new home yet folks. Thank you to everyone for your suggestions and support though! Watch this space in the autumn and we'll be back in action. In the meantime:

We're launching our monthly in Nottingham!! Whoop Whoop! We'll be at Revolución de Cuba, Nottingham on the first Friday of every month.

There's a load of us going over for the launch on June 3rd. See event below. Hopefully some of you can make it over. They have a great dance scene over there :)

Right folks!

Some sad news i'm afraid. The bar have once again cancelled the night. Rev de Cuba Manchester will no longer be the home for our monthly Big Swing.

However, it has been so fantastic the last few months that this is definitely not the end! You guys have been incredibly supportive and we've been building some serious momentum recently. I had hoped to have found a replacement venue prior to this announcement but nothing confirmed yet and had to get the word out before next week.

If anyone wants to join the discussion about possible venues comment on here or send a private message, all help is appreciated.

Watch this space for more news. We love coming over to Manchester so are definitely going to sort this out asap.

Cheers :)

Hi Folks! Just a quick announcement to say we are not going to be at Rev de Cuba this thursday. We've had to cancel due to a full venue booking at the bar. Sincerest apologies as I know after last month's rip roaring night many were looking forward to this one (us mainly)!

We will return in the new year most likely the first thursday in february. Watch this space for more details soon.

It's been fantastic to get started back up in Manchester and we greatly appreciate all your support. Roll on 2016 we say! Have a great Crimbo and New year x :)
