[QUOTE="Andy W, post: 933924, member: 83728"] No way. Disco was everywhere in the Uk from George McCrea’s Rock Your Baby on, ie from about 1975. In every youth club, scout hut and town hall in the land the dj’s set was based around disco, although you tended to get a bit of glam rock and dancey pop (the likes of Dancing Queen) thrown in, plus a couple of reggae/ ska numbers (eg Liquidator, when the lads would shout out their football teams). The night would always end with the “smoochy” section when everyone would pair up - eg the Stylistics, 10cc’s I’m Not In Love etc. So disco was everywhere, but for most it wasn’t being served up exclusively. Gradually (late 70s early 80s) name djs and exclusively dance music discos emerged - where I lived the kind of more dedicated and knowledgeable people who went to them were said to follow jazz funk and soul but that was really just a less commercial version of disco as well.
