Hot on yer Heels is a weekly dance club, for jive and swing dancers. The music played varies from late 30s & 40s swing, rhythm & blues from the 40s and 50s, and rock'n'roll and rockabilly from the 50s, just so you know.
The club runs from 8 - 11pm every Tuesday night upstairs in the function room at the Circus Circus pub, Preston Circus, Brighton (opposite the Duke of York cinema). Admission is £3.
Memphis Gee is the resident DJ, and every week is joined by a guest DJ who plays for approximately 45 minutes of the evening. Look below for the DJ 'biographies' (vital info and some useless but interesting facts!), what kind of music they play, and when they are playing next.
