Get down to the hiphop be-bop-a-lula

Almost there, folks. Almost there...

As another much-needed weekend of fun and frolics hoves into view [and we have another theatre trip to look forward to tomorrow - Jerry's Girls at the Menier Chocolate Factory], we need to get this party started!

Here's a little "blast from the past" - from thirty-three years ago, when House Music ruled the world...

Thank Disco It's Friday!

Have a great one, dear reader...


PS Yes, I have featured it before - as a recipe!

    1. I wasn't exactly a rave type myself - in my heyday, it was all Vicki Sue Robinson, Sharon Redd, Taylor Dayne, Miquel Brown, Hazell Dean, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Dead or Alive... Jx

    1. In the immortal words of Frankie Knuckles: "House music is Disco's revenge! Disco music is alive and well and living in the hearts of music-lovers around the world. It has simply changed its name to protect the innocent." Jx
