A bush fire benefit gig featuring the Honky Tonk Rockers and Jump Cats was held at Eddies Poolroom last Friday night drawing in a big crowd of rock n roll and swing dancers who were very enthusiastic to do their little bit in support of those communities devastated by the recent, and ongoing, bush fires around Australia. It was a fantastic night of dancing to country rock music by the Honky Tonk... [Read More]

Parkes Elvis Festival has been running for 28 years and today is still going strong and remains very popular with the locals and visitors and especially so for the regulars who go to Parkes year in, year out. It's my first time attending the festival this year and I must say, I had a great time. Perhaps suffering a little over exposure of Elvis in a single long weekend.
The Summer Rocknroll Festival in Geelong organised by the Geelong Jukebox Rockers was held over 3 days with dances on Friday night with the Fender Benders and on Saturday night with the Smokin' Wingtips. There was also a dance workshop and rocknroll dance competition on Saturday. From all reports, the dances were very well attended.
Sunday is a family picnic day held at the White... [Read More]

At a time when several venues have closed their doors, the Dandenong Workers Club continues to provide quality live rock n roll bands and dancing every Friday night. There is also a live band on Saturday nights too. If you want more, you could also dance to DJ Flash or DJ Jeff on Sunday evenings. I have attended the venue since the early 2000's but I am sure it has been operating as a rock n roll... [Read More]

Sydney band, Toni & the Rhythm Cats, made its second performance tour to Melbourne last weekend. They played in Melbourne earlier this year when DJ Ashley brought the band out to play at the German Club in Windsor.
I first saw the band at Coolangatta's Cooly Rocks On 2 years ago and was impressed with their selection of tunes which are just great for rock n roll dancing. But I... [Read More]

The band, Juke Box Racket, has announced that they will now not be busking in the city on Swanston Street tomorrow afternoon (Saturday, 30th November). The weather forecast is shower for tomorrow so I assume it would not be safe to play in the open.
The invitation to take part in dancing on Swanston is therefore cancelled. Sorry for the late announcement.

It is hosted by the Hampton Park Rockers and I visited the venue for the first time last night. The venue is very impressive with a huge dance floor and those who regularly went to or remember the dances from years past at Little Maria's in Burwood's Whitehorse Club would appreciate...

Despite inclement weather, the rock n roll music festival in Camperdown last weekend was a great success in my opinion. This festival was re-started by some very dedicated people after the demise of Camperdown Rockabilly Cruise Festival 2 years ago. The town and local businesses were keen to keep this 1950's style festival alive as it was such a drawcard for patrons not only from all over... [Read More]
