Afternoon Tea Dance with Blackpool Tower Organist John Bowdler

John Bowdler is bringing an afternoon tea dance to the Mortimer Suite at Hull City Hall on Wednesday 9 December, starting at 1:30 pm. It's exactly what it sounds like: a session of dancing with tea and biscuits served at the interval, and Bowdler is the one providing the music.

He's a renowned Blackpool Tower Organist, and that's the kind of background that tells you what to expect from the afternoon. The set is built around the audience's favourites, and it doesn't stick to one style. He'll be working through ballroom, sequence, and Latin numbers, so there's a bit of everything in the mix rather than one particular kind of dancing. If you've got a favourite from any of those, it's a good bet it'll find its way in.

The whole thing is led by Bowdler himself, and the tea and biscuits come during the interval, so you can take a break and have a chat before getting back to it. It's a midweek afternoon session, which puts it in a different bracket from the usual evening things on in the city.

Tickets start from £8.50, and that includes the tea and biscuits. It's at the Mortimer Suite in Hull City Hall, in Queen Victoria Square, on Wednesday 9 December from 1:30 pm.
