"Pandemonium" - Girton Spring Ball


Friday 14th March



A month is a long enough gap between two incredible balls, isn't it? We think so! If you missed us at Churchill, come and watch Fitz Sing some Swing at Girton's response to the mid-year party shortage.

"On Friday 14th March 2008, Girton College Ball Committee invite you to attend PANDAEMONIUM, a night of EPIC proportions and inconceivable luxury set in the infernal palace of LUCIFER, original bad-boy and famed anti-hero of Milton's PARADISE LOST.

With the fiery pits of Hell as its venue, and offering pleasures beyond mortal compare, it is the perfect event with which to end Lent term.

So, join the ranks of Milton's fallen angels and descend into the chaos of the underworld…After all, for every Paradise Lost another is found…

Non-dining: £74 (£79 after 30th November)
Dining: £104 (£109 after 30th November). These are currently sold out, but due to overwhelming demand it is possible we will release more, so feel free to join the online waiting list.

Fitz Swing - ON TOUR


1st - 13th July 2007


This year Fitz will depart on its annual reckless adventure to the unsuspecting East Coast of Spain, where it hopes to roast the locals with some good traditional British Swing. If you're in the area, watch out for posters!





JAZZ AT JOHN'S


4th May 2007 - This Friday



Fitz at last gets to stretch its legs in the Cambridge gig that's at the centre of things - the prestigious Jazz at John's. Come and woo that revising spirit with a night of entrancing ballads and raucous cacophonies. This time it's a Battle of the Bands with Selwyn Jazz - only one can survive. Go to http://www.jazzatjohns.co.uk/ for more information.





MAY WEEK


Every Night (More or Less)



Things tend to go a little quiet around this time of year, as Fitz goes dormant in readiness for its big week of the year, where it will tour Cambridge in a frenzy of all-night May Ball activity.

Bookings are good this year, and there's a good chance that you'll get to hear us... and perhaps end up partying with us too.


So far, Fitz can confirm that it will definitely be appearing at Trinity and Clare, and is finalising arrangements with most other balls. Watch this space.






Gig at the Cambridge Union


10th February, 11.30pm



We will be doing a set of an hour at the Cambridge Union Ball this in a month's time. Join the Cambridge Union and get tickets to come and see us!
