New acts — add to the roster?

These acts play a mixed venue (Norrport) but weren't in data/bands.csv. The swing column has now been filled in by hand (commit 4376a67); merging records the decision. Every row keeps style=all — none is a dedicated blues or balboa band, and a narrower style would hide their nights from the other style filters.

Verdicts (9 acts)

Act	Next date	swing	Why
Jubilee Stompers	2026-11-11 (also 12-16)	yes	Sollentuna trad band: cornet, clarinet, saxes, trombone, banjo; "Klassisk Jazz, Swing & Dixieland (20-tals jazz)". Same family as Old Boy / South Station Stompers.
Skånegatan Syncopators	2027-01-06	yes	Stockholm street band playing 1920s New Orleans jazz (trombone, trumpet, clarinet, banjo, tuba, washboard); EP Candy Apple Rag (2025).
Deri Rowlands & Ekens Swing	2026-11-05	yes	Swing & evergreens from the 1920s–50s (Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Fats Waller); his booking page says the shows can be danced to. Separate ensemble from Django Friends, so it needs its own row.
Willis Badkar WBK	2026-11-04	no	Rock/blues/soul bar band ("svängig blues och rock"). Almost certainly the same act as the existing willes-badkar (no), spelled differently.
Selander Quartet	2026-11-14	no	Modern jazz quartet (tenor sax, piano, bass, drums) playing Rollins / Heath / Petrucciani / Rosengren — bebop for listening, not dancing. Norrport's "jazzens guldålder" blurb is stock text used for every "vardagsrum" night.
Vandringsmän	2027-01-27	no	Folk trio doing Dan Andersson songs (Gunnar Ekman, Billey Shamrock, "Puch" Magnus Olsson). Same stock Norrport blurb.
AVOCADOS	2027-02-10	no	Latin jazz per Norrport's own blurb; nothing found online. Existing avokados is already no.
NYÅRSAFTON PÅ NORRPORT 2026/27	2026-12-31	no	New Year's dinner with karaoke, not a band. Existing nyarsfest is already no.
Bill & The Southside Ramblers	2026-11-21	unknown	Only trace is one Stockholm Blues Society listing (daytime gig in Gröndal, no genre). Could be trad jazz or Chicago blues — someone should listen before deciding. If it turns out to be a blues band, mark it yes with style=blues.

Things to know

• Not tagged blues or balboa. Willis Badkar is the only blues act here, and it's the blues-rock bar-band type already rejected (Bluesväder, JABB, Blues Injection, Blues men). Nobody is known for fast swing. all events show under every style filter; a narrower tag would hide them from lindy hoppers.
• Duplicates. Willis Badkar, AVOCADOS and NYÅRSAFTON are new no rows rather than aliases on willes-badkar, avokados and nyarsfest; the notes say which they duplicate, if you'd rather merge them later.
• Sources are web searches plus Norrport's own event pages; the weakest calls are Bill & The Southside Ramblers (unverified) and Vandringsmän (matched by name only).
• Merge before the next scrape. The nightly scraper rebuilds bot/new-bands from main and force-pushes it (and regenerates this description), which resets every row to unknown. This has already happened once.
• npm run validate:data passes; no warnings on bands.csv.
