About

Book Tour / Interview & Club Night GREG WILSON’S DISCOTHEQUE ARCHIVES With Special Guest WINSTON HAZEL Hosted by Celestial Broc As part of of a series of events up and down the country, Greg Wilson presents a special night in support of his new book, Discotheque Archives, now available as an extended hardback. The book explores the pre-rave era of dance music, spanning the ‘60s through until the mid-80s via its four main sections – Classic DJs, Classic Labels, Classic Venues and Classic Records. With props from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Norman Jay, Colleen ‘Cosmo Murphy’, Luke Una, Irvine Welsh and John Higgs, Discotheque Archives can be ordered here: https://superweirdsubstance.com/product/greg-wilson-discotheque-archive-extended/ Greg’s guest, Winston Hazel, is a Sheffield DJ luminary, hosting the city’s leading underground night of the mid-‘80s-early-‘90s, Jive Turkey, in partnership with Parrot (Richard Barrett). Jive Turkey preceded rave, then ushered it in, and is one of the book’s Classic Venues, illuminating the pioneering roles Winston & Parrot played in UK club culture. In January, The Guardian ran a feature on Jive Turkey and its influence: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jan/17/sheffield-club-night-that-blazed-a-trail-for-the-uk-dance-scene-jive-tukey Winston will be playing tracks from Jive Turkey era, whilst Greg will be selecting from the vast array of records listed in the book.
