Episode 2

Synopsis

Dave Pearce presents a six-part guide to the last 30 years of disco culture, from stone cold classics to hidden gems.
Dave, whose first ever gig experience was seeing Sylvester play at Hammersmith Apollo, has long been a fan of disco and credits it as a catalyst for his own role in UK dance music. This is his essential, alphabetical guide to disco tunes.

In the second programme of the series, Dave looks at letters E to I of the alphabet, playing big records from Gloria Gaynor and Earth Wind & Fire, alongside some less known hits from Frantique and Gary's Gang.
