Never ones for shameless self promotion…ahem..but boy didn’t we own the Solo Charleston round at the London Swing Festival? Take a look at this video and see one of the Swing Patrol London team in every round. If you ever had a reason to be proud of them team, this is surely one of them. You know, it’s been said before but…damn we’re hot

Those of you unfortunate enough to miss the first London Swing Festival missed a whole load of great competitors in a whole load of amazing rounds.

Check out the final heats…apparently, if you’re not falling over, you’re not trying hard enough 
See you next year?
