If you want to book them at the 'pre-booked' rate of £8, ring me (01432 357859) by 5.00pm tomorrow and leave your name and number of tickets required on my answermachine and I'll leave them on the door for you. Otherwise they'll be available for sale at £10 on the door. It should be a good night with lots of great music to dance to.

The fabulous 'Steady Edd & The Boogie Men' will be playing at The Royal British Legion Club, Leominster on Friday, 14 December - venue details on separate tab above. The band have played several near capacity dances for us in Hereford, and are bringing their 'expanded line-up' to Leominster, with an extra brass section of 2 sax and a trumpet to give more 'oomph and bite' (to quote Edd). They're always great to dance to and create a great atmosphere playing a real mix of music, from boogie-woogie, swing, rock 'n roll, r&b, jazz, etc ... all geared to dancing. As usual, ring Susan on 01432 357859 or email herefordjive@btinternet.com, or get tickets at jive classes around the Herefordshire area. They are £8 in advance or £10 on the door - so don't leave it too late to book.
See you there!Hereford Jive & Swing Grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16204764864425890705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791761681758625453.post-7489311451768395862012-11-18T12:53:00.000+00:002012-11-18T12:53:16.487+00:00Jiveoholics Dance in Hereford TONIGHTThere's still a few tickets available for this dance, so you can turn up on the door - price £10, if not pre-booked.

Don't leave it too late to get your tickets to see the fabulous 'Jiveoholics' who play our next dance on Sunday, 18 November at The Richmond Club, Hereford (see separate tab for venue details). The Monmouth based band bill themselves as the hottest jump jive and swing dance in Wales, and their packed dances show this to be true - they sold out for us in Hereford last year - so make sure you get your ticket in time. Ring me on 01432 357859 or email herefordjive@btinternet.com or see Coolmoves Dance Jive teachers at Bartestree, Ludlow, Bishop's Frome, Leominster or Leigh & Bransford. See <a href="http://www.jiveoholics.co.uk ">www.jiveoholics.co.uk</a> for sample tracks and band info.

Don't leave it too late to get your tickets for our next band night with the fantastic 'Jiveoholics' on Friday, 25 May. Describing themselves as 'the hottest jump jive band in Wales' they regularly pack dance halls around the country, and played 3 fantastic gigs for us in Hereford over the last couple of years. The Leominster venue is even bigger, so hopefully they'll prove just as popular and we'll have a packed dance floor once more. See <a href="http://www.jiveoholics.co.uk ">www.jiveoholics.co.uk </a>for more details on the band and to sample their tunes. Tickets are £8 in advance or £10 on the door, and are available from jive classes in Bartestree, Leominster, Ludlow and Bishops Frome and from Susan on 01432 357859 or email herefordjive@btinternet.com. The evening runs 8-11.30 pm, with doors open at 7.45 pm.

I have pre-sold a lot of tickets, so it should be a good night, but as it's a bigger venue there is space for more people .... but don't come too late if you've not got a ticket! Ring me on 01432 357859 before 5.30 tomorrow to have a ticket held on the door ... leave a message on the machine if I don't answer. After that time, I'll have left to set-up the hall.

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 <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thesultanabrothers">www.myspace.com/thesultanabrothers</a> 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. <br /><br />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.

Thanks to everyone who turned up, and hopefully will continue to come in 2012, when some changes are afoot!<br />Dances will continue on Sundays at The Richmond Club in Hereford. Again we have a mix of record hops and bands (more bands this year - some of our favourites, and some new ones). In addition we are going to be running 4 dances in Leominster on Friday nights, to see how they work out. All these will be band nights and will be at The Royal British Legion Clubhouse, which is 30% bigger than The Richmond Club, with a fantastic dance floor, bar and lots of parking. Hopefully there'll be lots of support and we can fill the place! Details of venues and gigs are on the menu at the top of screen ... and a new, clearer website is on it's way - subject to my computer not breaking down again!! <br />Have a great new year and I look forward to seeing you in 2012.Hereford Jive & Swing Grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16204764864425890705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791761681758625453.post-44972665854554047232011-12-13T19:28:00.001+00:002011-12-13T19:32:12.445+00:00Tickets still available for The HeartbeatsThere's a good crowd going to this dance on 18 December, but at the moment we do still have tickets left ... though I've sold a lot yesterday and today, and it's just been in the local papers, so no guarantee this will be the case by the weekend! So if you want to guarantee you ticket, ring me on 01432 357859 (Susan) to reserve tickets on the door. My computer access is limited at the minute, so phoning me is better than email. It should be a good night - they're a great band to dance to, or just come and listen and watch the action.

They're great to dance to and there's always a great atmosphere at their gigs. The music is predominantly 1950s rock 'n roll, and you can hear samples at <a href="http://www.the-heartbeats.co.uk">www.the-hearbeats.co.uk</a>.<br />As usual, the gig is at The Richmond Club, Hereford (see left column for map/directions), and runs from 7.30-11.00 pm - with the band being on stage around 8.00 pm. Tickets are £8.00 in advance or £10.00 on the door (but check availability before travelling, as numbers are limited). Contact me (Susan) on 01432 357859 or email <a href="http://herefordjive@btinternet.com">herefordjive@btinternet.com </a>for tickets or see me at jive classes at Bartestree or Lindy Hop class at Hereford Town Hall, or see Jive teachers at Bishop's Frome, Ludlow or Leominster.<br />If you fancy dressing up in full 'rock 'n roll' outfits and getting into a real 1950s party mood, that'd be great - but it's not compulsory! If you just want to come and listen to the band, that's also OK. Hope to see you there.Hereford Jive & Swing Grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16204764864425890705noreply@blogger.com0
