Roy Szweda on the decks Deanshanger hall one of my last discos

            Now here is a very special snap since it is just about the only photographic evidence that I ever ran a disco... my memory is a bit incomplete but this Polaroid was taken by err not me as I am in the centre of the frame looking for a record to appease the teenyboppers of Deanshanger Youth Club. Likely yet another Adam and the Ants toon so it would be 1980 or 81 perhaps.  Sorry to be so vague again. Polaroids are great not least because you can write details on the back... but I didn't this time, grr. Anyway it is lucky it even exists.
The hall was better in all respects than the old one except for the acoustics which made setting up a trial. 
We had a motley assortment of equipment by then including a lightshow to put Hawkwind to shame, no not really. The blurry white column on the left is the UV tube and we brought our own backdrop posters as you can see. 
All in all we looked the part in the dark but snapping that is impossible... although I think Ken has some pix. 
The disco folded not long afterwards as I had had enough, five years was enough for anything... I no longer lived in the village but they still wanted me to play them some records which was nice, sometimes I even got paid!
