Club 30-80 is an occasional dance night for the over 30s who “don’t go clubbing but still like to shimmy”. It is run by Rosie and Roger. The night is centred round requests for songs from anyone who comes along. This means the playlist isn’t dominated by one particular genre of music – it’s pretty much anything from Bill Haley to Baccara, the Buzzcocks to Beyoncé.
Most requests come in through the Facebook group and also via email. It’s easier for to compile the playlist this way and to source songs we don’t have. We played music from every decade from the 40s to the present day. There was some disco, some motown, some glam rock, some reggae, some swing, some punk, some pop, some new wave, some goth and some easy listening classics. All of them really good songs to dance to.
