I would like to provide just a brief preview of two super weekender
events to take place in Switzerland this year - we hope that some of you
swing fans out there will be able to join us:
The 1930’s to 1940’s Spring Bank Holiday Weekender
in Bergün 14th –16th May 2005
After the
success of the “Weekend in May” event 2004 Delphi Special Events have organised
a second stylish weekend in the lovely Hotel “Kurhaus Bergün”. In
addition to our own favourite swing DJ, Herby “Dr. Rhythm” two of Britain’s
top DJ’s will be providing music “for our listening and dancing entertainment”.
If you love the vintage sounds of the 20’s to 40’s Chris "Swingshift" and
Bryan "Okay for Sound" will undoubtedly fulfil your every wish. These renowned
and very experienced British DJ’s are also known for their selection of
rare vintage music, as well as for ensuring that the dance floor is always
swinging by playing a wide range of American and British favourites. The
weekend programme commences with a surprise movie in the main hall for
those arriving on Friday evening. Gala dinners in buffet form, followed
by exquisite dance music complete the programme for Saturday and Sunday
evenings. The Sunday evening ball is a “theme ball” giving guests the chance
to dress up as their favourite Hollywood character – anything goes! A flea
market is scheduled in the main hall on Sunday. This beautiful area of
Switzerland also offers a variety of possibilities for varied daytime activities.
This is a stylish and high-class event but at a low budget price
of just CHF 220.-- (including two nights accommodation 2 gala dinners and
2 full breakfast buffets).

We
are thrilled to announce that this popular weekender will again be taking
place this year at the exquisite Art-Nouveau hotel “Schatzapl” in the famous
winter-holiday resort of Davos. This is a weekender for all tastes of music
ranging from swing and dance music of the 20’s – 40’s (expressly provided

jive, boogie woogie, rhythm and blues, rock and roll etc. Famous British
weekender DJ “Nappy Maxwell” will be spinning the discs together with Frank’s
“Saturday Night Fish Fry” (GER), our own lovely “Gee Double You” and “PiniMilani”.
To top the event this year the majestic “Sophie Garner & her Swing
Kings” will be providing live entertainment of the highest quality – designed
to get every toe tapping! In addition, my very favourite top Swiss guitarist
Philipp Hader will be providing the cocktail music with his Gypsy Jazz
Band.
