31st August Birthday Bash
Thursday, 30. August 2007

This Friday night 31st Aug, one of our Leeds Friday night Lindy regulars is having a birthday do at the Highwood Hotel (Brackenwood Drive, Leeds LS8 1RG map here) and if you're a Lindy Dancer you're invited.

The Mike Booth Big Band will be playing and there'll be dancing til late. There's a one class only  (7-8pm) at LindyFridays this week in Tiger Tiger and then we'll all head up to the Highwood for some dancing to the Swing band. Do get in touch if  you'd like a lift there.

Lindy Fridays Tiger Tiger launch
Friday, 10. August 2007

This went really well for our first night after no publicity. The big Leeds Lindy supporters turned out on our opening night to give their blessing. We got some new folks who looked up "Fun things to do in Leeds on a Friday night" on google and discovered our Friday night dancing to my delight. Glad all the work on our google rating has paid off. Team Hull made it over to visit us as ever and all the supporting regulars showed up to pick up some more Lindy.

Bought radio mics for us teachers but Tiger Tiger mixing desk let us down, so ofThe image “http://www.venues.org.uk/images/venueimages/logo_3998.gif” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.f to purchase more special leads tomorrow to get us underway next week. Room is big and boomy with lots of echoes so shouting out at class is hard to make out. Hopefully next week we'll get it cracked.

We run Wednesday night salsa classes down at Tiger Tiger at the moment so will have a go with the new radio mics next time we're in.

Floor is concrete not wood in Tiger Tiger club but as most people fed back it was worth it for the improved atmosphere of a bar in the town centre versus the swarthmore centre. Felt much more like a night out.

If we turn enough regular punters each week we're hopeful we can run ocassional full friday night at Sports Cafe on the Headrow with full wooden floor and lots of hours of dancing so we don't have to quit at 9.30pm.
