The Jitterbug Volume VIII
After a sell-out event with the bad boys of Swing: Dutty Moonshine, it gives us great pleasure to once again invite crowd favourite Kiwistar to join us at the Caravan Club at Spanky Van Dykes. Being a highly experienced Dj, he has played at countless Electro Swing events across Europe and certainly knows how to get a crowd moving. At the first Jitterbug in 2011, he proved to us how crazy they do things in Paris, so we had to have him back. Needless to say, our very own residents: Jamko, Dj Switch and Das Motz will be on hand to provide support.
In order to meet your dancing needs we will once again be providing a FREE dance class at 9pm. This will be strictly first come, first served, so make sure to get down early as these have been very popular in the past.
Although not compulsory, dressing up is strongly encouraged for the evening as we will be transforming Spanky van Dykes into a 1920's Speakeasy. Here's a few ideas to get you started: 1920s Flapper, 30s Glamor, Pearls, Feather Boas, Flat Cap, Top Hat, Trilby, Waistcoat & Braces, Dinner Jackets & Bow Ties.

In 2011, Kiwistar was elected the best DJ at the Electro Swing People's Favourite 2011 organized by the French Jazz Radio and Trax magazine, coming in at 3rd place in 2010.
