Lindy Chorus Music Video
Ever wonder what would happen if members of TasSwing, Lindy Mob and the Moonlight Aviators ever got together? Well, check out these videos below to see a great performance of the Lindy Chorus for Frankie 100! (note the videos are the same, one of them is just in sepia, if you prefer that old time look…)
TasSwing T-Shirts For Sale!
It’s been about ten years since we last had t-shirts for sale, but our fabulous graphic designer, Veronica Dixon, has been hard at work, and has come up with a t-shirt line for TasSwing! You can see the options here, here, here and here.
There are a choice of designs, plus you can also pick the colour for your t-shirt (I got blue!). Prices range from $24-$27 (plus shipping).
At this stage we’re not planning on having any in class, they’ll only be available online.
