Tonight’s surprise performer:

Jitterbug Jive

Jitterbug Jive warmed the evening tonight filling Saxon Square with an energetic display of Lindy Hop routines, including a fun lesson in dancing the Charleston Shuffle.

On a cold but thankfully dry evening the audience participation brought such great warmth and fun to the event. Macmillan Caring Locally, the Day 8 charity, were presented with their cheque from tonights sponsor Karin Shipman as well as fundraising through a wonderful raffle.

A thoroughly enjoyable and festive evening’s entertainment.
