Founded in 1990 by Chris Hall, The Swamp Club quickly became a hugely popular event attracting a variety of people from all over the country. It was also the launch pad for the Cajun dance craze that swept the nation throughout the decade.

​

As well as having the top UK based acts in the related ‘Louisiana Roots’ genres, they booked key artists from Louisiana including; Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, John Delafose, Beau Jocque, D.L. Menard, Eddie LeJeune, Canray Fontenot and Balfa Toujours, to name but a few.

​

The events were always a sell out, often turning away hundreds of would-be revellers, and gained the attention of media outlets leading to The Swamp Club regularly being broadcast on BBC and ITV.

​

Whilst the Swamp Club closed its doors in the late nineties, its name is still fondly remembered and talked about by all those who attended.

​

But now the time is right to re-open the doors, dust off the accordions, re-ignite the dance floor and get this party started!
