. . . and don't forget to find the link to their email address so you can subscribe yourself and receive the extra newsy newsletter each week and the odd emergency update, etc. I've removed Rob Luckey from the Friday night list as there is no longer Friday night music at the Balmain Bowling Club. I also added The Cartwrights to Saturday's list as I've been reliably informed they scored two weeks in a row at the Bald Faced Stag (this being the second week). Now, over to the professionals:

Limpin' Jimmy and The Swingin' Kitten DJ Services - Always remember folks, if you have an event coming up and you would like to make it one to remember, contact Limpin' Jimmy and The Swingin' Kitten for information about our DJ Services. We have a huge range of music and can tailor any event to your needs. We have added popular dance music of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s as, when we are playing at weddings and engagement parties where there is usually a mixed crowd, the requirements usually go beyond 40's or 50's Swing, Jazz, Lounge and Rockabilly. We expand our music collection as we go. Try us!

Thinking about a Christmas Party? Now is the time to book your DJ before everyone else gets in. Contact Margie by return Email or to 0419 498 578.
