Embrace the Forties and get back into the Swing!

of the event with a 1940s-themed D-Day party in The Duchess. Expect traditional wartime attire, traditional 1940s dancing and, less traditionally, Dubstep! Replacing bombs with lasers, Straight Line puts a unique 21st century twist on the original D-Day party by combining “hip 40s swing” with electronic dance music and lasers for  ‘BLITZ: Bring Back the Swing!’

Air-raid sirens will signal drinks deals, and wartime music will be given a Dubstep edge as The Ross Sisters meet Skrillex for this unique event. Straight Line promises “a night less ordinary” to mark the anniversary of Operation Neptune, the greatest offensive victory of British military history.It’s fancy dress, so bring out a World War Two military jacket and a medal of honour (but leave your weapons at home!) Or a vintage dress and enjoy cheap drinks and a peculiar 1940s swing-Dubstep hybrid.This very special event will start in The Duchess at 10pm on Wednesday the 6th of June. Tickets are on sale now for £3.50 and will be £5 on the door. Check out the Facebook event page for more details!
