Swagger have years of experience and heaps of talent! They have been our house band at La Raza for the past 10 years, and every month always fill the dance floor!
They play the classics with a twist, so expect a mix of 60s groove, 70s funk, 80s cheese and 90s favourites, with plenty of surprises thrown in! They take their music very seriously, but not necessarily themselves…they are five grown men who do not shy away from the kind of tunes that would terrify your average suited-up ensemble!

THE EARLY NIGHTCLUB
Thursday 24th October – 8pm – FREE ENTRY
The Early Night Club, established in 2009, is clubbing with a difference.
An older, wiser crowd of clubbers, who like to throw their hands in the air and let loose on the dancefloor, but only until around 11.30 pm, and then they best get home to bed as they’ve got stuff to do the next day. This is sensible clubbing, where your head won’t be too sore the next day, but your feet just might be because it’s dancefloor fillers all night long. All music you will know and love from the 80s/90s and beyond.
