Did Scotland have the swagger of Travolta during the 1978 disco explosion? Join Bryan Burnett with Ken Bruce, Kelly Marie & Tom Ferrie plus music from the Bee Gees, Chic and more
Bryan Burnett is on a quest to discover if the newly launched 麻豆社 Radio Scotland was dazzled by the disco explosion in 1978. Did Scottish men possess the swagger of Travolta and did the nation's favourite Popmaster - Ken Bruce get his flares on and get behind the decks at some of the new discos to emerge across the country in the late 70s. Kelly Marie reveals the joy of the jumpsuit, while Tom Ferrie reveals his favourite disco island. With a floor filling soundtrack from Chic, The Trammps, Donna Summer, The Jacksons, Tavares, Heatwave and more. Bryan hears from Northeast DJ, Cammy Campbell, talks style with fashion historian Jade Halbert , tracks down nightclub owners James Mortimer & Eddie Tobin, while disco fan Jackie Brown remembers the outfits that didn't quite fit the East Fife weather and former Pink Ladies DJ Anne Rendall goes back to her dance roots. As 麻豆社 Radio Scotland celebrates 40 years on air - find out how this new station for a modern era embraced the disco explosion
