Hey there Guys'n'Gals,

 

NICK CURRAN BENEFIT GIG

 

A big shout out to Benny Peters of "Benny and the Fly By Nighters" in Melbourne who organised a benefit gig in support of Nick Curran http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Curran_%28musician%29 . In 2010 Curran was diagnosed with mouth cancer, only months later to be declared cancer free. Unfortunately, recently it was announced that his cancer has returned and he is undergoing treatment. Benefit gigs are being organised all over the world by devoted fans and as a result of Benny Peter's gig in Melbourne, Benny has been able to send over $4,000 to Nick to help with medical expenses.

 

BLUES DANCE WORKSHOP

 

Some of you may have seen dancers at Rock Lily, Jump Jive and Wail and other gigs doing a dance to somewhat slow and rather sexy music. The style is called Blues Dancing and usually danced to slow Blues and romantic Doo Wop ballads. Whilst it is currently practiced mainly by dancers in the Swing community where it was first introduced, there has been a lot of interest outside of this and our friend Chris Kearns, a Swing dancer and teacher who has added Rockabilly to his already expansive dance repertoire, is organising a Blues workshop for those who are interested beginners or already dance this very cool style. Check out the item below. It's great to be able to get up and dance to something that would otherwise be too slow for many of us in the Rockabilly scene.

 

We try as best as possible to keep events in some sort of date order but due to some formatting problem we have yet to identify, we have had to slot some items in where it doesn't corrupt the page layout. We are working to get this fixed. Don't forget for a quick summary of what is on, the index below is a good guide.

    Brian Setzer Unleashes Thrilling Line-up for 'Rockabilly Riot' Australian Tour 2012

    Featuring a special set with Slim Jim Phantom

    Brian Setzer, rockabilly's most iconic ambassador, has unleashed a brand new line-up for his upcoming Australian tour.

    Dubbed 'Brian Setzer's Rockabilly Riot!' this new look is an all-out assault on the rockabilly norm, an overcharged and thrilling attack of American rock n' roll.

    Setzer's line-up includes: two (yes, two!) slappin' stand-up bassists each bringing some extra thump to the party; two drummers - one being none other than Stray Cat Slim Jim Phantom - and a classic boogie-woogie piano that plays so well with Setzer's rockin' riffs.

    The show will include all of Brian's hits and originals, favourite covers, and a special set with Slim Jim and Brian together playing the legendary Stray Cats hits including 'Rock This Town', 'Stray Cat Strut', 'Runaway Boys' and many more!

    The end of the show will be a never-before-seen all-out rockin' extravaganza!!

    After 43 years of honing his craft, Setzer is also releasing his first all-instrumental album 'Setzer Goes Instru-MENTAL!' (Surfdog Records). The album showcases Setzer's unique musical style that has made him one of the most legendary and credible artists in the industry today.

    One of the swinginest venues in the Inner West, The Roxbury Hotel has become a twice a month haven for Swing dancers.

    Originally conceived as a social dancing night by Sharon Handley and Bruce Elder from Swingtime Australia, Swing @ the Roxbury soon

     caught on with all Swing dancers around Sydney.

    It was easily accessible, had a good dance floor, a great bistro and bar and very cool atmosphere.

    There was also facilities for live bands when required for a special event. DJ's provide a great music mix and all levels of dancers are welcomed.

     

     

    Swing @ The Roxbury

     

    usually every 1st and 3rd Saturday night

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=G94CuSg2Yss

     Sat 4th FebPaddington RSL Club, 220-232 Oxford St, Paddington

    Workshops:

    Beginners
     1-2:15pm
    This class is ideal for those wanting to learn blues dancing from scratch or for those wanting a refresher from a world-class blues dancer.
    Blues Fundamentals - Rebuild your blues from the pulse on up! We'll go over all the basics of modern blues dancing, including how the connection and aesthetic differ from other forms of dancing. If you've never taken a blues class before, this is the place you'll want to start.

    Beginner/Intermediate
    2:30-3:45pm
    Shades of Blues - Blues dancing comes directly from the music, and boy what a lot of blues music there is! We'll take a listen to a few different styles of blues music and learn how to dance each. We'll cover everything from traditional slow jazz to the hip-shakin', tear-down-the-house style that blues bands love and everything in between. To get the most out of this class, you should have at least 3 months experience partner dancing.

    Intermediate+
    4pm-5:15pm
    Danceversation - Blues dancing should be a conversation with your partner about the music. In this class, we'll go over the concepts of 'permissive' leading and 'requestive' following and give you a few different contexts in which to practice these concepts. To get the most out of this class, you should have at least a year's worth of experience partner dancing.


    5:15-6pm - Social dancing.

    Our very own Samantha Szetu will be dancing with Paul on the day.

    Costs
    $20 for a single workshop
    $35 for two workshops
    $45 for three workshops

    Payment
    Payment will be via cash on the door on the day. Please note that I am running this event myself so I don't have any credit card payment facilities.

    RSVP
    Please RSVP via this Facebook event page and leave a comment as to which classes you intend to do. You can also private message me. This is for planning purposes.

    For all you vintage Cats ‘n’ Kittens, there are some great markets and fairs that you should pop in your diary. There is always a fantastic variety of clothing, shoes, jewellery, fabric, handbags and collectables for the discerning vintage devotee.

    The Love Vintage Fair will be held on the weekend 23rd to 25th March 2012 at a new venue Hordern Pavilion, Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park. Check the Love Vintage website for further information and details of the vendors as well. There is always live entertainment, dance demonstrations and hair and makeup workshops and of course, oodles and oodles of vintage fashion. http://www.lovevintage.com.au/

    Vanity Fair Markets - Coming up on Saturday 10th March sees the vintage market at it's new location of Paddington RSL Club, Oxford Street, Paddington (Opposite the Town Hall). 10am to 3pm.
