Summer Swing Festival At The Grand Social Dublin

Music
08 Aug 16

A 3 night Festival of top class vintage Roots, Swing, Rockabilly, Skiffle & Country from both sides of the Atlantic featuring America’s King of Western Swing - Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys and the UK's number 1 Jive band - The Jive Aces.

Taking place in The Grand Social over 3 nights in mid August 19-21, the Summer Swing also showcases great home grown roots talent like the brilliant New Orleans style boogie woogie piano chops of Gavin Povey & His Fabulous Oke-She-Moke-She-Pops, the electric folk cowboy Jem Mitchell, the swinging skiffle of The Louisiana 6, Rockabilly heroes The Slick Hicks and the sweet country rock sound of The Annulments.

On DJ duties we have DJ Mouse, one of the UK's finest and a man who launched some of London’s best Rock N' Roll club nights over the last four decades. Down from Derry for the weekend are the Rumble Club DJ's who play a swingin' mix of rockabilly, surf & exotica.
