The Sultana Brothers in Leominster

Our first dance at our new (additional) venue in Leominster will be on Friday, 16 March with popular local band 'The Sultana Brothers'. They sold out for the last gig they did for us in Hereford, and hopefully the same will happen in Leominster ... it would be a great way to kick off our new series of Friday night Leominster dances if it did! The band create a great party atmosphere with a great mix of '50s, '60s, r&b, blues, rock, etc and if you go to www.myspace.com/thesultanabrothers you will hear a sample of their music... but note that they have a wide repertoire and not all the stuff on the website is suitable for our requirements. They will be playing as set for jive and swing dancing.

The new venue is The Royal British Legion Club in Leominster - full venue details are on the venue page above. It's a big place with a great floor, and will hopefully prove popular. Numbers will be limited to allow space for dancing, so make sure you get your ticket in advance or check availability before travelling. £8 in advance or £10 on the door, if any are left. The evening runs 8.00-11.30 pm. Ring Susan on 01432 357859 or email herefordjive@btinternet.com.
