FRIDAY NIGHT PARTY – 28. 2. 2025

Mix & Match competition
Friday night will be full of dancing, live music, fine DJ selection by DJ Alright and a turntable treat, Mr Peanuts himself. You will get to know your instructors and will be able to participate in or enjoy the Mix & Match competition. We are excited to welcome on stage one of Europe’s most promising swing and hot jazz bands, the Roaring Cats. The tiny orchestra based in Amsterdam took the challenge of giving value and new significance to the roots of jazz and will be with us for the first time. Their repertoire consists of original arrangements of the finest tunes by the top artists of the 30s and 40s: from Fats Waller to Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington to John Kirby. On top of that, they present original compositions in their own style. Swell notes for hyperactive swing dancers and for sedentary drinking listeners.
MIX & MATCH competition: the preliminaries for the contest will start at 21:00 in Grand Union Hall, and the finals will be during the Friday Night Party. Registration for the competition will be possible at the registration desk during the day, between 14:00 and 18:00 and before the party starts, from 20:00 until 20:45.
Entrance: 40 EUR (entrance free for all LISA 2025 attendees)
