⭐️ SPECIAL GUEST ⭐️

Jim Dandy needs no introduction. He does however, need a warning label 🔥🔥

He’s back to the rescue this Saturday, a man with impeccable taste with a record collection to match. Last time he brought Mardi Gras to Fitzroy and left the place in pieces. This time? Your guess is as good as ours!

Floor filler of the week 🎶🎶🎶

This party starter has everything you want in a classic dance floor track - a relentless beat, a little sprinkle of Latin spice and a dollop of high energy swagger.

After what felt like 40 days and 40 nights of rain, the party gods smiled on us and cleared the skies. The rain stopped and the party started!!

Our resident DJs packed the dance floor with all killer and no filler, and the Shady Ladies kept the drinks flowing.

Thanks to our beautiful punters for dressing up and showing up!!
