Watching this on BBC2, loving the arrangements of the best songs of the disco era. Reminds me of my long ago teenage years. Love seeing all the middle aged people dancing in the Albert Hall. It really was the best era for dancing.

Crazy like a fool, that's me!🤪

You should come to my local pub, middle aged and older dancing every Saturday night. Never too old (and there's children and young adults too!)

It's great. Vula Malinga was on Women's Hour a few weeks ago and she was fab. Looking forward to her bits.

I was there! Such a great night! And yes I'm middle aged and yes I was dancing

Envious! It looks like it was a brilliant night. I really like how they've arranged the songs, not just a straight copy of the originals.

mimbleandlittlemy · 31/08/2024 21:44

Including the orchestra who are obviously having an absolute ball.

Northern Soul last year, Disco this year - I couldn't make either and REALLY wanted to go. So what will it be next year? Funk, Stevie Wonder, Motown/Soul ?? I'm not missing the pop Prom next year!!

thekrakenhasgone · 31/08/2024 23:28

I would love to hear the Barry Ryan version of Eloise and a full orchestra version of 'Don't leave me this way'
Now doing my fantasy set list for next year Grin
I loved it

Are you my TV twin? I was watching this last night and just dancing in the living room all by myself! It was a fab concert. The orchestra and singers were amazing. I didnt watch it live so fast forwarded through the Diana Ross songs.But that's just personal taste.

Pleased you had a great time. It was amazing on TV so being there must have been brilliant atmosphere.
