Disco In The West End Of London!! Fri 1st Feb 2008

[RetroRuss]

Yes, Disco is back in the West End of London with the launch of Strut. A monthly celebration of 70's & 80's Disco & Funk. We have a fantastic line up of DJ's for our inaugrual night. DJ's include Paul Philips of Solar Radio, Ian Dewhirst of Mastercuts fame, Simon M and Ian Wright.

£3 on the door before 9pm and £5 thereafter. 2 drinks for the price of one at the bar until 9.30pm and the evening goes on till 2am. This all takes place at the famous Corks, 28 Binney Street, London W1 (opposite Selfridges) on Friday 1st February.

This is a night not to be missed and if you are in London come and be part of history when we bring Disco back to the West End! For more information visit our website New Page 2 . In support of the Anthony Nolan Trust.

Also a special Joey Negro Disco mix will be available from the site to stream (with very kind permission from Joey Negro) very shortly. So do pay a visit.

Finally if you are in a far flung part of the world and can't make it but would like to hear what it's all about - the evening is going to be streamed live. The link will be posted on the website nearer the time

Well I think it went well. We had at its zenith about 270 people in there. About 300 in & out through the evening. As it was the launch night we had a lot of DJ's doing one & a quarter hour sets, which in hindsight was not the best thing. The music was mixed and different, however the best sets in my humble opinion came from Paul Philips & Ian Dewhirst. The owner of the venue was delighted - I did notice a few people who had had a 'few too many' by midnight, so much so that she has agreed to fund a radio advertisement for our next night on Friday 15th February. It will be different, myself and Paul will cover the evening playing disco. I'll keep it fairly commercial to start and let Paul play the rarer underground stuff!

Overall a good night, I think people enjoyed themselves and hopefully they'll come back next time.

Following last Friday's Strut with Soul-Unique's Master J we do it ll over again on Friday 2nd May. In the house we have The Legendary Paul "Trouble" Anderson playing disco! Anyone familiar with the London dance music scene will know Paul and his long and distinguished career! He will be joining me and Paul as residents of what is swiftly becoming established the place with the West End to come and enjoy 70's Disco!!

So if you are in London, are coming to London, want to come to London and need an excuse, can't afford to come to London but thinking what the hell, then come...it is going to be a wicked night!

It's going to be another great night!!!!
