Disco Soul...spooktacular! Teddington Constitutional Club, 7:30pm 

The usual Disco Soul mix of 70's disco and soul music, with a handful of 60's Motown plus, because it's Halloween and we grab any excuse to dress up, a few spooky tunes thrown in... 

Climb out of your crypt or hop on your broomstick and fly down to join DJ's "Disco Sue" and "Markus" playing the best vinyl records to a friendly (if slightly worn out) bunch of party people of varying ages. Do the timewarp, the monster mash or simply prop up the bar and enjoy the great music.
