Swing out to the authentic big band sounds of the incomparable Peter Long and his Swing Orchestra, playing the music of Savoy Ballroom legends Chick Webb and Count Basie, in the beautiful period main hall at Laytmer Upper (King Street, Hammersmith).This event will be a tribute to Harlem's legendary Savoy Ballroom, "the home of happy feet", which opened its doors almost exactly 100 years ago, on 12th March 1926.
Organiser Martin Ellis has 20+ years' experience running London's "The Savoy Ball" - this event will be close to The Savoy Ball in intent, if not on quite such a grand scale.
