We’re super excited to be having «The Spoonful Gals» as DJs this year! Leigh, Shell & Sigga are prominent figures in the Blues dance community and had been running «The Spoonful» (one of our favorite events) in Edinburgh till 2025.
Shell
Shell originally hails from Perth, Australia but now calls Edinburgh her home, where she has been heavily involved in the lindy and blues scenes since she caught the dancing bug. She was one of the founding members of the Edinburgh blues scene, involved in its early formation in 2006. She has a love of blues music and has been DJing for blues dancing since 2006 and has found her way into the line up of many events across the UK and Europe and even the occasional set in Australia and the US.
Shell is always seeking out new tunes to get you inspired and has a tenacity to spend too much money on music, but she never forgets those songs that are firm dancing favourites. Expect well constructed flowing sets with a variety of music to keep you entertained. Shell has been known to keep tired dancers on the floor way after they promised they would go to bed!
She will also be MC’ing the Competitions!
Sigga
Sigga (Iceland’s greatest export since Björk) is a blues dancing DJ, teacher and organiser in her adopted home scene of Edinburgh. She has an infectious passion for blues music, which she loves to spread around.
You can expect solid rhythm and flowing sets to keep the party going into the late night.
Leigh
Since discovering the blues, Leigh has succumbed hopelessly to its charms. Leigh has passion for the widest variety of blues and knows how to pick just the right song to keep the floor groovin'.
She's been bringing the essence of the sultry, soulful blues to dance floors around the world for many years and when she's not behind the decks or on the dance floor, you'll probably find her on the hunt for the next track that brings extra richness and depth to her blues collection.
She will also be our DJ co-ordinator for the event!
