And here’s Deanna Durbin singing Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year from the film Christmas Holiday:

White Mischief organises evenings out with a difference. And it celebrates its third birthday this weekend with another fantastic evening.

What’s more, White Mischief is offering a discount for Swing Dancers of London. So if you’re interested read the message below from Tobias …

White Mischief is celebrating its third birthday on March 27 with a massive multi-room extravaganza called “The Great Exhibition”. The party features tons of opportunities for swing dancing with vintage DJs, plus numerous live music acts including the astonishing Oompah Brass. Then there is dress-up, themed areas decorated by set dressers who have worked on Punchdrunk and encounters with everything from costumed characters a chainsaw juggler. On stage witness Voltini conduct 27,000 volts of visible lightning through his body, Bruce Airhead climbing inside a six foot bubble and a face-off between chap-hop icons MC Elemental and Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer. Throughout the building, the UK’s best steampunk artists will be exhibiting their work and selling craft, jewellery and gifts.

Swing Dancers of London can benefit from a special price of £15 (usual price £19) by entering the discount code SDL on the ticket booking page. But book now, as tickets are 50% sold and the discount won’t last forever. Full details on http://bit.ly/aVwvaJ or http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=273342702169

The weekend’s close. So why not dance a bit this weekend, since ♫♪ All The Cats Join In ♫♪

Talking of which, see our website for a wonderful cartoon featuring Benny Goodman’s track.
