Welcome Ball

The first big swing ball as part of this year's HavelHop. fabrik Potsdam expects Lindy Hoppers from all over Germany. Careless Cats will be playing live and DJ Wuthe will be heating things up. The Berlin based band Careless Cats is formed by musicians of different backgrounds, sharing the desire for hot New Orleans rooted Jazz music and its improvisational power. Nina Thalers stirring voice carries you right into the heart of the music of the 1920's and 30's by composers like Clarence Williams, Georgia White, Jelly Roll Morton or W.C. Handy. Dancers as well as jazz-listeners love the Cats for their choices of songs and arrangements. Whether its a warm blues or an exciting uptempo if you listen the cats' joyful performance you cannot stop your feet to swing along.
