Nope, with the likes of Supertramp, Squeeze etc. being active at that time I didn't dig this kind of grot.

The video is from the world disco dancing championship

Fella I knew used to live in a flat above the shops in Longridge Avenue made it to the UK final at the Hammersmith Palais - I think it was 1979 but might have been a year either side.
I was bombing around on a 750cc Honda ...

Marvellous scenes indeed

I would have been 10. I was probably playing football with jumpers for goalposts

Great tune, DJ'ing for weddings at Langfords hotel at the time. Mixing in Gonzalez - Haven't Stopped Dancin, Village People - Macho Man. Still have it all on 12"

Did your sets then or later ever include Sparks - Number 1 Song In Heaven or Sylvestor - You Make Me Feel Mighty Real? (Or were they a bit too far removed from mainstream disco likes at that time?).

Unknown pleasures, Manifesto and Dire Straits for me. Hated discos only good for late night drinking.
