Event information
The Dizzy Club have been doing this since 1993 — jazz, swing and Latin grooves woven through the American Songbook, punctuated by the odd curveball (Prince? Bobby Womack? Yes, really), and lit up by four albums which are now staples of every Sheffield-dwellers' jazz collection!
For our biggest ticketed event of the year, the Dizzies are bringing the swing to Crookes Social Club's main room. 300 people, a great dance floor, and festive cheer from Sheffield's cheekiest pioneers of song. Very special guests The Retrobates join us for what promises to be an action packed, bauble bashing night!
The Retrobates:
Just when you thought it had all gone quiet, the Retrobates are back! This red-hot retro outfit will be rolling down the tracks delivering Steaming Hot Rhythm and Blues, Jump, Boogie and good old Rock & Roll from the 40’s and 50’s. If you like an authentic rockin’ mix of tunes from the likes of Cochran, Harpo, Turner, Jackson, Brown and Harris, you’re gunna love the Retrobates Big Rhythm and Blues Band. With members accumulating decades of experience touring through the UK and Europe and headlining many retro-festivals, these cats know how to get you on your feet. So, wave bye-bye to your blues, hold on tight and get ready for the ride! Choo-Choo-Ch-boogie people!
