Swingamajig Festival

Swingamajig is an annual music festival that takes place in Birmingham, West Midlands, England. It is the UK’s first one day urban festival dedicated to Electro Swing, Vintage Sounds and Gypsy Madness. Swingamajig 'takes the sounds and styles of the 1920′s and brings them up to date with a modern twist, bringing together several thousand of the best dressed ladies and gents to party like it is 1929'. First held in May 2013, Swingamajig Festival comprises elements of live music, DJ sets, film, art, dance and circus performances across four diverse stages.

History

Swingamajig grew out of the success of Hot Club de Swing, a regular electro swing club night that began in 2011 and is held at the Hare and Hounds, Kings Heath, Birmingham. Curated by the The Electric Swing Circus, one of the UK's hottest electro swing acts who have performed at Glastonbury Festival, Shambala Festival, Boomtown, Bestival, Secret Garden Party, WOMAD, Nozstock and Mostly Jazz Festival, the success of Hot Club De Swing led to the band's development of Swingamajig in 2013.
