For those who may not be aware, there is a new monthly live rocknroll music and dance venue in Hampton Park. It is hosted by the Hampton Park Rockers and I visited the venue for the first time last night.

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]

The Freccia Azzurra Club located on Springvale Road in Braeside is a rock n roll institution in its own right.

And today, it's still very popular with rockers and rockin' every Wednesday night with a... [Read More]

Camp Hollywood is one of the world's premier swing dancing competitions which is held annually in the USA. However, I have noticed that each year it does show case and try to re-create rock n roll dancing and dance scenes from 1950's movies. This year's competition again show cased 1950's rock n roll dancing in all its glory. Here's the video. I hope you enjoy watching it.....
This year's festival was the 20th anniversary of Greazefest. Not only that, with other rockabilly festivals being folded up over the last few years, this Brisbane based festival seems to be growing in popularity from year to year. The crowd is getting bigger with several thousands attendees passing through the gates over the 3 days, and there are more bands playing,including those from... [Read More]

Jonathan & Zoe's Alleycatz hosted their annual Melbourne Open & $1,000 Shoot Out R&R dance competition last weekend. Unfortunately, I couldn't be there to witness it this year but have done so in previous years.
