Do join us for SWING FLING - the lindy hopper’s dream – great music and talented dancers. It’s not a show but  an opportunity for you to try or just enjoy the vibe! 8pm @ Cafe

It’s smokey passion and haunting melodies – Grey Lyons’ Quartet brings some jazz to the house. 9:30pm onwards @ Cafe on FRIDAY.
