Big Band Music and Swing Dancing
By Fat City Swing on November 7, 2008 - 12:51am
A 15-piece Fat City favourite, The Other Big Band will stir your musical sensibilities like an enchanting harvest moon with their classic swing numbers and big band tunes. Dance the night away to the likes of Benny Goodman and Glen Miller. Bandleader, Doug Makela, and his orchestra have played all over BC and the US, performing at such prestigious festivals as the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. Adding to their merits, baritone sax player, Chad Makela, has toured with the legendary Doc Severinsen, well known to television audiences as the Grammy Award–winning Music Director of The Tonight Show.
Tickets will be available at the door for $13 general admission and $11 for students with valid ID at the West Langley Hall (located in the West Langley Park, 9400 208th St, Langley). Doors open at 7:30pm, an introductory East Coast Swing dance lesson will be offered promptly at 8:00pm with the band sweeping the stage from 9:00pm till 11:30pm. This is an ALL AGES event brought to you by Fat City Productions.
