White Mink

Fans of the swingtastic Vegas! club nights have long been aware that the best parties in the world all took place before the 60s started, daddio. Unfortunately, aside from sporadic events such as The Gatsby Club and Vegas’s own semi-regular outings, the flappers and dapper gents among us are ill-catered for. Thank heavens then for White Mink, taking place every weekend of the Fringe at the classy, sassy Voodoo Rooms.

This particular brand of speakeasy has a modern twist on it though – all the tunes fall into a broad category of ‘electro-swing’, meaning there’s a bit more oomph behind the bass and the tempo is kept snappy. The 21st century element is emphasised by the evening’s live act, Le KKC Orchestra, who mix their French grooves with hip hop beats and vocals.

White Mink creator Nick Hollywood is based down in Brighton, meaning those seaside cats get to dance the Charleston on a much more regular basis. It’s such a riotous night out that it can’t help but become more widespread in the future; in the meantime, get yourself along to The Voodoo Rooms while the Fringe still swings.

The Voodoo Rooms, 226 0000, 25–27 Aug, 12.15am, £10.
