Spring has sprung and Rock a Hula! once again takes over Bloomsbury Lanes, to bring the rockabillys and rockabettys of London town a great night out

This April Rock a Hula! will be showering Bloomsbury with its special blend of rockin’ live acts and fifties passtimes. Attending the Hawaiian beach party this month are young, wild rockabilly boys The Ladykillers, a four piece vintage rock n roll / garage band from Essex. Having played last year's Vintage at Goodwood and the World famous Rhythm Riot, and booked to appear at the Rockabilly Rave 2011, you'll be able to catch this hot band before they hit the big time.

The gorgeous DJ Lady Kamikaze (Black Cotton/ Lady Luck) and Tim’s Jumpin’ Jive (Hellzapoppin’) will be spinning vintage vinyl all the way until 3am. Plus entry includes a beginners swing dance lesson with Brace Yourself, hula hooping all night, Elvis movies in the cinema and bowling and karaoke available to book on the night!
