Fuel presents Swing Night

Swing Night was a one-off swinging extravaganza at the Grand Hall at BAC, hosted by the one and only Tammy Why Not, complete with Gordon Campbell’s 18-piece Big Band and troupe of specially trained swing dancers.

The event involved over 400 participants across London. In the weeks running up to the event school children and senior citizens participated in swing dancing classes taught by Simona Scotto in schools and day centres in Islington and Battersea.

Transport was provided for senior citizens and primary school children to make their way to BAC and enjoy a magical evening of champagne, dancing and great music.

This intergenerational project celebrated the role of music and dance in London during WW2.

Partners: The Claremont Centre, The Peel Centre, Sotheby Mews Day Centre, Thornhill Primary School, Duncome Primary School, St John’s Primary School, High View Primary School, Katherine Lowe Settlement and Battersea Arts Centre

Supported by Home Front Recall part of National Lottery Big Fund, BAC, the Crafts Council and the Claremont Project.
