Meeting Ronnie Scott
Niall, Andy and Stephen have had the pleasure of meeting Ronnie Scott only the once before his death on 23 dec 1996. After apologies from the humble 19 year old students for using the name of such a prestigious international jazz venue, the modern jazz tenor saxophonist took the time to write the band a letter:

"I don't know who told you that I was upset about the name of your band. I think it's an excellent name but I must insist on ten percent of your earnings over £1.5 million per annum.

For those who saw the headline in the Birmingham evening mail in 2001 'Ronnie Scott's Rejects lap dancing bid', this was not a new business venture that the band was involved in. It was in reference to the building that housed Ronnie Scotts' Club in Birmingham becoming a strip club

Ronnie Scott's Rejects and Lindy Hop
Ronnie Scott's Rejects often perform at Lindy Hop and Jitterbug dance events. A regular gig and a big favourite for RSR on the swing dance scene is the Monday night at the 100 club, Oxford Street London. This night, called 'Stompin', is run by the legendary dance performer/teacher/ choreographer Simon Selmon of the London Swing Dance Society and is devoted to the music, dance, and clothing of the 1930s, 40s and 50s.

The band have twice been resident at 'La Santa Swing' in the Canary Islands where international swing dancers meet annually to compare notes on Charleston variations along with taking private tuition in the art of Shag, a closehold 1930s partner dance. All great fun! www.jumpnjive.co.uk
