Swinging at the Transport Heritage Expo – Tin Pan Alley, Dancers and Steam Trains

Greg Poppleton and band returned to the Transport Heritage Expo at Sydney’s Central Station today, Saturday 8 June. It’s their third year entertaining visitors with Tin Pan Alley songs from the 1920s and 1930s to fit the Heritage theme of vintage trains and buses.

Adding to the fun, fantastic and colourful swing dancers came along to dazzle with deft footwork as the band played. Thank you Sue Ann!

Greg Poppleton and band will be at the Transport Heritage Expo, Country Concourse at Central Station, Sunday 9 June and Monday 10 June, 10am – 2pm. Free! Dancers welcome. Band bookings: https://www.gregpoppletonmusic.com/contact

And go for a ride on the steam train, Sydney red rattler and the vintage double and single deck buses. The NSW Rail Museum will be operating steam train rides through the city from Central as part of the annual Transport Heritage Expo. It’s a fantastic nostalgic long weekend event for families and transport enthusiasts alike!
