Hey folks!!

The legendary blues player, James Armstrong, is playing at the Fairview Legion Friday February 10th. The East Coast Blues society made an announcement about it and they say there is a big dance floor! Tickets are $20 in advance at TAZ records and $25 at the door. Take a look at the videos posted on his Web page to hear some of his awesome music! We have included that link below. (This is an excellent opportunity to listen to some fantastic blues music even if you don’t put your dancing shoes on. This event can be enjoyed either way! )

There are two items that were left behind at our last event: a blue and white umbrella and a pair of rubber boots. If they are yours, please let us know!

With a turnout of about 50 people this evening, our first event was a great success.

A big thank you to everyone that came out!!  And to everyone that helped put things together!  We couldn’t have done it without any of you.

Keep your eyes peeled for our next event.

Friday Night Blues presents its first beginner lesson and social dance for the Halifax scene on October 14. Come and learn another way to dance to the Blues bands of Halifax and to those slower songs played during Swing social dances.

No partner necessary, no experience required, this event is designed for everyone to participate. Doors open at 7:45 and the night kicks off with a beginner lesson from 8-9 followed by an hour and a half of social dancing — perfect for experimenting and having fun with the concepts taught throughout the evening.

Admission is a mere $5 and the lesson and dance are at Serpentine Studios (Studio 200), 1668 Barrington Street. The entrance can be found on Argyle Street, to the left of the Foggy Goggle Restaurant & Bar.
