B Sharp Big Band was good, swing music is much better when consumed live rather than via recording.

Dancing, singing, mingling with the oldies - perfect Sunday with Dad.

Edit: also Wilbur Wilde turned up, did a few Sax songs and then launched into a jazz cover of Wonderwall - that song has never sounded better, and it was epic to see Wilbur live!!

Was that in st kilda? I've never felt more out of place looking queer as fuck and never more proud to be queer as fuck walking down ackland street with all the bogans. Cars were good though but yuck, felt like I was going to catch something, I'm definitely crowd phobic now.
