Get ready ladies and gentleman, as the Jitterbug is back for its fifth instalment. On Friday 2nd March we will be taking over the Black Cherry Lounge to bring you our hugely successful Swing / Electro Swing night. We present to you DJ Switch (3x DMC World champion), Josh et le Chat and Trip for Biscuits with live Audio/Visual show. In order to meet your dancing needs we will once again be providing a FREE dance class at 9pm. Dressing up is strongly encouraged for the evening as we’ll be transporting you back to the 1920’s/30’s. Here’s a few ideas to get you started: 1920s Flapper, 30s Glamor, Pearls, Feather Boas, Flat Cap, Top Hat, Trilby, Waistcoat & Braces, Dinner Jackets & Bow Ties.

*DJ Switch*

Anthony John Culverwell aka DJ Switch aka Tony ‘3 Times’ – so called for his three back-to-back world DJ championship titles, as well as his three consecutive UK supremacy & team titles – began moving records at the tender age of 11 but has since conquered the world over with his scratching superpowers. From Africa to Bulgaria, China to Denmark, with countless diverse gigs across his homeland of England under his award-winning belt, he hasn’t looked back. DJ Switch is a regular guest contributor to 1Xtra, Radio 1 & the BBC Asian Network. From his involvement with the Alternative Dubstep Orchestra, to his own dubstep scratch crew the Brotherhood of Filth, to leading at the forefront of the burgeoning Electro Swing scene, and being recognised as the first DJ ever to play the Proms, with “Concerto for Turntables”, Anthony can turn his hands to anything & everything. He will be gracing the decks at The Jitterbug to perform his unique vintage scratch set

Noëllie (aka le Chat) is a young photographer that has worked on numerous projects with Josh as a photographer or designer. Their common attraction to all things vintage has inspired them to create the group Josh et le Chat. They are the new residents of the Electro Swing Club (London) created by the infamous Chris Tofu which has allowed them to play alongside big acts such as The Correspondents and The Sweet Life Society.
