Need a little more rock ‘n’ roll in your Saturday morning?
The wonderful DJ Ems has put together more than 90 minutes of hand-picked tunes to get you in the mood for September – and give you a taste of what’s waiting on the dance floor at the Coral Club.
Her Bop, Stroll & Jive with DJ Ems playlist brings together rock ‘n’ roll, rockabilly and rhythm and blues made for moving. You’ll find familiar names including Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Elvis Presley and Jackie Wilson alongside plenty of lesser-known gems worth adding to your own collection.
Prefer another platform? You can also find (most of) the playlist on the Rock ‘N’ Roll Festival YouTube!
And this isn’t just your pre-festival listening… DJ Ems will also be behind the decks at The Coral Club by 5MU, inside the Victor Harbor Town Hall, after dark across the festival weekend.
After our Friday and Saturday night Feature Acts finish, we’ll throw open the doors for free social dancing and record hops with DJ Ems. No ticket required – just come in, find yourself a spot on the dance floor and keep the night going.
So whether you’re practising your steps, planning the drive to Victor Harbor, doing the Saturday morning housework or simply need a better soundtrack for your weekend, press play.
September isn’t far away…
PS: If you’d like to sample some of the bands that will be playing over the weekend, we’ve got a playlist for that, too!
