Starring the sensational, world’s greatest, LIVE Disco review – Uncle Funk. Famous globally for their electrifying performances and impeccable renditions of all your favourite DISCO anthems, they have been setting festivals and dance floors alight (quite literally) for over 25 years. Infectious energy, stunning stage presence and world-class musicianship awaits as the band captures the very essence of the disco era.
Direct from Glastonbury and into your theatre, this 9-piece Supergroup have performed on some of the world’s biggest stages including multiple appearances at Glastonbury Festival, Standon Calling, Cambridge Club Festival, Camper Calling, Secret Garden Party, Shambala, Smukfest Denmark and many more – including a recent appearance at London’s O2 with legends Heather Small, Sybil and Galaxy.
The evening promises to be an unforgettable night of music, dance, and nostalgia, as the band transports you back to the glamorous and exuberant heyday of DISCO. Expect classics from Donna Summer, Bee Gees, Chic, Earth, Wind & Fire – hits including Stayin’ Alive, Le Freak, Boogie Wonderland and many, many more. Performed with Uncle Funk’s legendary flair and passion, alongside eye-popping costumes and super-fly choreography.
You’ve heard the hype, now buy the ticket! Fancy dress is not mandatory, but wholly encouraged.
