Mr Ryan MacGregor, Murdock London's marvellously moustachioed barber in our Liberty London branch shares with us his love of disco and how he started his own night From Disco to Disco his hometown...
"I started From Disco to Disco about 5 years ago. Back then there was nowhere that great in Reading to go out to listen to the music that my friends and I where into. My birthday was coming up, so I organised a little party with all my mates DJing in a back room of a bar in Reading. It was lots fun, its had a nice house party vibe, but with club level tunes. From Disco to Disco was born! It then became a monthly party, playing all the best Disco/Nu Disco, and generally got a bit heavier as the night progressed into the night with some house and techno. It grew over the years from paying friends in beer to DJ to booking amazing acts like, Justin Robertson, Ejeca, Filthy Dukes, Magnier (House of Disco), Debonair and lots more. It was amazing to see acts like this in a 80 capacity venue and 90% of the time if was free entry!"
"Since moving to London, the FDTD nights have sadly stopped. I would love to bring the FDTD nights to the capital but for now I am currently working on some Disco Edits and getting myself some more DJ sets in and around the city. I love my disco, so my sets are generally full of classics, edits and Nu Disco numbers."
