Electro swing is a musical genre fusing swing styles with contemporary production techniques including house, hip hop, EDM and more.

 

Contemporary artists of the genre incorporate loops, samples, melodies and styles from the swing, jazz and big band era such as Django Reinhardt, Cab Calloway and Benny Goodman to create new more club friendly and accessible sounds.

 

***DJ Samuel Luke***

Samuel Luke is a familiar face on the Sheffield scene, having held residencies at a number of venues across the city. For Canary Club he brings his unique ability in combining instantly recognizable and loved tracks with bang up-to-date beats to create an uplifting dance and sing-out-loud sound!

Expect to hear the likes of Cab Calloway, Louise Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Roy ‘Little Jazz’ Eldrige with mixes from Parov Stelar, Grant Lazlo, Swing Republic and Minimatic.

It was never a stalwart - peripheral at best.

I have to agree here with you.

 

I cannot wait for it to open as Mullberry tavern, already has better choices of drinks and you never know we might get some heating now.

Heating doesn't top most peoples list at the moment it seems

Well........

Haha, some with experience of one of our newer venues. Luckily Summer isn't too far away .............or maybe a new themed night of "Bring your own CAMPer Stove".

[Roger123W 10]

Well while it is sad to see Affinity go I will not be too sorry - yes towards the last 12 months it has been freezing in there and the choice of beer has been dire and I cannot wait to see how the new Boardwalk turns out.

 

It is also an interesting observation to make that places like Icons and Dempseys that let Tia Anna perform are thriving as they support diversity on the gay scene whereas a place like Affinity which in the past has banned Tia Anna and would not let her perform on the closing night, has gone to the wall anyway ..... interesting !!

Anyone know what Gossips is like? Keep trawling the net to see if there's any pictures of the place so know what to expect, is it a good night or too early to say?

Not sure if things have improved since, I might try it this weekend.
