Sugarfoot Stomp Tenth Anniversary Party. 19th September. The Spotted Dog Birmingham.

Sugarfoot Stomp will be celebrating its tenth year of bringing you music, mischief and more from the 1920s to the 1960s.

This event will be extra special as we will be partaking in the Scalarama Film Festival so our visuals man; Film Ficciones will get to stretch out and have his own room showing a selection of rare 16 mm films while we get everyone fuzzy in the outdoors beer garden. We are also happy to welcome Charters and Caldicott who will be playing rare 78 records on the pub's very own gramophones.

The pub is situated at 104 Warwick Street, Digbeth, Birmingham, B12 0NH and the event will go on from 8 until late.

Not to be missed!

Madame Moonshine's 1920s Speakeasy

Hello all!

So last month we had the honour of doing our thing at the hottest new night in town; Madame Moonshine's Speakeasy.

We were truly spoilt by the dancing girls who made our set go off with a bang, not to mention the many splendid things that kept us entertained such as fantastic live music and Colonel Swing spinning delectable tracks. Sassy singers The Glamophones lead us by the hands into the gin-fuelled night ahead and we had a grand time larking about in a photobooth courtesy of Polka Dot Fox:

All who attended made a massive effort to look the part. You can see the results via their Facebook page here:

We'll be playing at this event again in the future so watch this space!

Sugarfoot Stomp 9th birthday and film screening of Hellzapoppin' (1941) in association with Outer Sight. Friday 20th September at the Hare and Hounds.

We are very excited to be celebrating our 9th year of Sugarfooting by teaming up with the mysterious pop-up speakeasy film parlour that is Outer Sight. Together we will be bringing you a pre-Sugarfoot film screening of Hellzapoppin' from 1941; a film which contains one of the best lindy hopping dance sequences in cinema history!

Here is a synopsis: 

Absolutely mad frame-busting comedy starring the infamous duo, Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson. Ole and Chic are a couple of stagehands who try to help a young playwright woo the girl of his dreams, but manage to wreck his big stage production in the process. One of the wildest, most imaginative comedies ever made, it's a film of a play within a film. The projectionist is assaulted by the usherette. The stars talk to the audience. The projector goes wrong - and the stars notice. It has one of the greatest pieces of Lindyhopping ever filmed. This film does things nobody else did for thirty or forty years, and has stuff which would be wackily avant-garde today.

The screening (courtesy of Film Ficciones- the brains and beating heart behind Outer Sight and king of Sugarfoot Stomp's moving images) will be preceded by some short films and will be followed by our club night. You can come to one or the other but we would recommend coming to both because they will each be a life alteringly joyous experience!

It costs £6 to come to the screening and the night and just £3 for the night which should start at around 9.30 pm.

Doors are at 7 pm and we will be keeping you up way past your bedtime until 2 am.

Here is a Youtube clip of the Lindy-hopping scene so you can see just what we mean:

I just want to reiterate how excited we are!

The Sugarfoot ladies.

Down at the Sugarfoot Stomp: 

Music and More from the 1920s to the 1960s.

Outer Sight:

An irregular madcap through the outer spaceways of lost and psychedelic psynema. A place that's all questions and few answers, and where the windows look in - even from the inside!
