DISCO SOUL in Teddington!

Friday 21 August, Teddington Constitutional Club, 7.30pm - midnight.

Fancy a night out? If you love 70's disco and soul music, with a handful of 60's Motown, maybe a splash of Northern soul thrown in for good measure - pop down to Teddington Constitutional Club where DJ's "Disco Sue" and "Markus" play the best on old-school vinyl.

Join a friendly (if slightly worn out) crowd, reliving their youth and strutting their stuff on the dancefloor, or just enjoying a drink and the great music.

Boogie shoes and disco glitter not essential but encouraged! No attitudes.
