"Finger clicking, hip swinging grooves"

	The Andrews sisters meet the Sugababes	341 dni temu
	The Swingettes have been attracting some attention around Limerick this week. They were guests on SpinTalk weekend with Michelle McMahon on Spin for a couple of songs and a philisophical discussion about harmony junkies, Christina Aguilera, seamed stockings and red lipstick. In an effort to sum up their sound Fiona (in a moment of inspiration) described The Swingettes as 'the Andrews sisters meet the Sugababes.' Thursday night saw the ladies hitting the Belltable's current venue at Red Cross Hall for a set at the their Acoustic night. Performing without mics and armed with a bunch of their favourite songs The Swingettes charmed the somewhat taken-aback audience! They sizzled through an alto led 'Fever', recruited finger clicks from the audience for 'Taint what ya do' and as always sang a show-stopping 'Let's do it'. Also performing were Emma Small, Dave Irwin and Vertigo Smith (who claimed if he'd known The Swingettes were coming he would have spruced up his look...the ladies thought he looked just fine!) The Swingettes love Limerick!

	Busy little Swingettes	349 dni temu
	The Swingettes kicked Christmas off in style singing a couple of their favourites at a Finola Ó Siochrú's Christmas benefit night in Kinvara. In true Swingette style the lovely ladies also helped out local artist Jack Harrison during his set adding some delicious harmonies and some fabulous red lipstick! After a hectic but musical Christmas where did the Swingettes end up? Why Adare Manor of course - only the best for our girls. The ladies sang a loved-up, super romantic set at the wedding of Chris Genin and Niamh Sheehy. Congratulations Mr and Mrs G. Watch (and listen!) out for the Swingettes in Limerick this month - bringing some swing and jazz to a Belltable acoustic night near you. x

	GMS swing into the Hot Mikado	616 dni temu
	The Swingettes were in the Town Hall Theatre on Tuesday night for Galway Musical Society's Hot Mikado. They sang and swang (sometimes at the same time!) while listeners sipped on champagne and nibbled canapes. The big favourites were, as always, the slinky 'Let's do it', 'Girl from Ipanema' and 'Signed, sealed, delivered' and the set finished with an electric 'Boogie woogie bugle boy'. Good luck to GMS-their Mikado is hot, hot, hot!

	The Croi Ball and International Womens Day at Riddler's	654 dni temu
	A busy weekend for the Swingettes with a short set on Friday night at the super glamourous 'Goldfish in the vases' Croi Ball in the Radisson Hotel, Galway. (Aisling was thrilled to sing her favourite line from 'Let's do it' - "Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it"). On Saturday night the Swingettes joined other Limerick artists at Riddlers for a great night of music for International Womens Day. Members of the Limerick Gospel Choir, the Brad Pitt Light Orchestra and many more joined in a few verses of 'Milly's back yard' to end what was a very lively, fun gig! Be sure to check out the photos and the video below. x
