Dress up or dress down for the evening. There will be lots of moving about and dancing so be sure to wear comfy shoes and get ready to swing.
Now in its new Friday night slot, Swing Live! (formally known as Bishopsgate Swing) has been running at Bishopsgate Institute for ten years.
In partnership with Swing Patrol.
