🎄Hoodoo Blues Winter Party 🎄
A band, dancing, mince pies, and an excuse to dress up – what more could you want?
Join the Hoodoo Blues Band for a night of jazzy blues and festive cheer. Expect a few Christmas favourites, a welcoming crowd, and plenty of chances to dance (or just sit back and enjoy the music!).
Whether you’re completely new to blues dancing or have been dancing for years, this is the perfect way to enjoy live music, dance, and community. Everyone’s welcome – no partner or experience needed.
The Band:
The Hoodoo Blues Band features the talented Ruth Lambert (vocals), Giles Strong (guitar), Ian Paterson (upright bass), and John Bradford (drums).

Doors open: 7:15 PM
Dance class: 7:30–8:30 PM (all levels, beginner-friendly)
Social dancing: 8:30 PM – midnight
Live band: from 9:00 PM
Dress code:
Wear whatever you fancy, but the Christmas party is an excuse to get dressed up - theme ‘red’.
About Blues Dancing:
Blues dancing developed alongside blues music in African-American communities. It’s a relaxed, improvised partner dance all about connection, creativity, and the joy of movement.
Why Dance?
Because it’s fun, social, and good for the soul! Come for the class, stay for the live music and friendly social dancing.

Upstairs at The Globe, just a short walk from Newcastle Train Station.
