Laura B & The Moonlighters, a seven-piece rhythm and blues combo in the style of Ruth Brown, Big Maybelle and Lavern Baker, will provide a big beat sound for the night along with “a performance to match many of the great R’n’B artistes of the 1950s”. See Gloster Jive and Swing’s website for a video of last year’s performance. 

The Midsummer Dance will take place from 7:30pm until 11:30pm and tickets are now on sale for just £11.
