This fabulous show, featuring three of Melbourne's best swing bands plus DJ Rusty, all on the one bill, is now a bi-annual event at the glorious Brunswick Ballroom.  The next edition is on Saturday 12 April 2025 and will feature:

Jennifer Salisbury's Swingin' Elixir
Well-known and well-loved on the Melbourne swing circuit for over a decade, we re-booted The Swingin' Elixir in 2023 with a brand-new line-up and long-time vocalist Jennifer Salisbury at the helm. The Swingin' Elixir will have you on the dance floor from very first “1,2, you know what to do”!

The Shuffle Club
Their style is most easily described as a hot blend of jazz, swing, blues and boogie. But that hardly does justice to The Shuffle Club's raw energy and enthusiasm – the kind that will bring you to your feet and on to the dance floor before you even quite know what is happening!

32 Bars
This fabulous production brings brand new swingin' tunes to life from Melbourne composer and producer Mark Morand. With three sensational vocalists and a red hot 7-piece band, the dancing is irresistible – and we promise you’ll be humming these brilliant melodies when you wake up on Sunday morning.
