Groove Lounge
Penwith’s purveyors of all things funk, soul and jazz, Groove Lounge is Penzance’s longest running dance night . From disco to Latin, Richard Ballinger, Gary Hughes and guests get the most wooden feet moving.
Love Love Musica Discoteca
Next up are DJs Alex Conrad (The Mongolian Disco Show) and Electric George (The Analogue Cabin) aka Love Love Musica Discoteca, spinning their unique brand of musical discoteca, channelling dancefloor spirits past and present. These guys have been hitting the festival circuit, earning a name for laying out infectious grooves. With the headiest days of disco serving as a blueprint, these guys keep that fire burning. Expect sounds from every corner—afro, Latin, disco and the funkiest rhythms from the past—all woven together with an electronic pulse of the future. Don’t get left behind as they travel through space and time to a funking bassline and bring some magic to the dancefloor.
England v Panama (World Cup, from 10pm)
Not strictly music, or Cornish for that matter, but a load of people have asked if we can show the footy somewhere. So, outside of the marquee somehere by the bar, we’ll have a hugh 82″ LED screen and a decent sound system for England’s progress into the next round.
Greg Wilson
In a bit of a coup for Penzance, we’re pleased to welcome Greg Wilson to our shores. A maestro of his craft, Greg Wilson has had a highly successful DJ career, over 40 years on, starting with a key role in the Haçienda. Greg is acknowledged as the godfather of the early ’80s Manc electro scene and is one of the first British DJs to use three turntables. pivotal role in the development of UK club culture. He is also the first man to demonstrate live mixing on British TV, appearing on The Tube in 1983, the same year in which he’d teach a young Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim) how to cut and scratch. His remix credits included Grace Jones, Gilberto Gil, The XX, Groove Armada, Roxy Music and the Happy Mondays. If there’s a man who can read a crowd and get them dancing, then that is Greg Wilson.
