Some ace curators, DJ Snowboy, Greg Wilson - just look at the 1980s section which will create Warehouse and Roller Disco parties: The Warehouse and Roller Disco pick up the baton from the mid 70s and Vintage’s ‘Soul Casino’ and will trace some of the legendary 'Disco' club nights from the mid 70s right up to where we are now. We will be celebrating the original and pioneering DJs (all British, reflecting the spirit of the festival) and some of the legendary UK clubs that paved the way for the current Disco resurgence. List them together and it becomes a truly mouth-watering prospect...
