Media Quotes
Irish Times 2010 - “Ridiculously good fun…. Irresistible! Perfect for anyone who likes to part in old-school style”
Dubliner 2010 – “the band rustle up a mix of gut-busting tunes … the atmosphere crackles as the dance floor explodes into life”
Daily Mail 2008 - "one of the most fun nights out I've had in ages.... no better way to party... as the young, gorgeous and glamorous, clad in vintage gear, flood the dance floor...The easy appeal of physical energy, old world glamour and the heady romance of the dance floor!"
The Sunday Independent 2008 – “girls dressed up like glamorous pre-war pin-ups ..men looked fabulous in sharp suits and spats….This is so hot…watching a tall, sexy man jitterbug across the dance floor, spinning his flexible partner with abandon. Outside on the cobblestones we danced our own version of swing … it’s about being able to just let yourself go.”
