Join Prohibition for a rare Sunday outing and help us raise lots of money for local cancer support charity, The Christie... a charity which is very close to our hearts.
We are stepping out of our Electro Swing bubble and broadening our musical horizons to welcome some of the UK's finest vintage DJs, who are all donating their time for free to support this amazingly good cause!
This is set to be a wonderful evening of pure vintage delights, with a soundtrack of Swing, Rock n Roll, Northern Soul, Funk, Disco and Electro Swing!
There will be cakes and we will hopefully be running a raffle to raise extra money.
