Jazz Australia is hosting a Dinner Dance this Saturday night 6 October at the Queenscliff Town Hall with the fabulous 10 piece Michael McQuaid's Red Hot Rhythmakers. This celebrated ten piece swing band in the style of Glen Miller, Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman perform the tunes that made those bands so famous.

The Rhythmakers is full of great jazz musicians who impressed Graeme Bell to such an extent that he chose them out of the whole of Australia for his Farewell Concert at Scotch College a few years ago. They are very popular in Melbourne with swing dancers but for this unique Queenscliff Museum event, they will play for a listening audience as well, and happily cater for those who are not interested in tripping the light fantastic any longer! So you do not need to dance to enjoy this evening of great swing music...here
This is a major fund raiser for the Queenscliff Museum and they do need your support...You don't need a whole table, share one with others who enjoy the same music and want to support the Queenscliff Historic Museum... Tickets are $55 BYO a plate of finger food and a bottle or two; 7pm start, so please do consider this special event and help a very worthy local cause. Bookings and inquiries to Diana it's not too late to book...here
Just in case you are looking for somewhere to stay...now that you've decided to spend the weekend at Queenscliff...here's a couple of lovely places...The Vue Grand...The Queenscliff Hotel...both very good and there's always the quick cheap deals at the last minute you may be able to take advantage of...
