Jazz at The Laundry

Strictly for YOUR information only, here is the setlist from the gig I did the other night at The Laundry, Johnston St, Fitzroy.
I got there a bit early and as there were a few people also there, I started to play some pre-set room warmers. I wanted to get the atmosphere up and swinging while people arrived, got their drinks and settled in. It was also a good excuse to play some fast hot stuff (with the exception of the 2 groovy tracks- Slims Jam/ Dupree's Blues) and lots of Fats Waller!
The dancing set started properly with Cab Calloways Oh! Grandpa.

This might be the last lindy hop gig at the Laundry as they're closing for 6 weeks while the venue undergoes refurbishment under the new owners. Quite fitting perhaps as I played at their opening night only a few months ago.
It's a great location and a pretty good room except for the hard concrete dancefloor upstairs. Personally I find it too punishing to dance for long on it, and as a dj I've noticed that people won't tend to dance non-stop all night there. Thats OK though, as it gives people a chance to socialize and get drinks etc.
Never-the-less, it was a pretty good gig! The floor was always full and there was a high energy happening. I ended up playing both sets as no one told me to stop.
