We’re having a disco in the bar next weekend. But it’s not any old kind of disco, this one is a bit different. This one is a proper old-school mobile disco…

We’ll let our old pal Billy Kiltie fill you in:

“Losing our jobs as groundsmen after accidentally flooding a tennis court wasn’t exactly part of the plan…but it turned out to be the start of something special. We dusted ourselves off, became mobile DJs, and launched Heatwave Disco, soundtracking parties throughout the 1980s after growing up in Kilmarnock during the Thatcher years.

That journey is brilliantly captured by my friend David Ross in his book Last Days of Disco, which tells the story of a generation, the music that defined it, and the nights that brought people together.

When Nick invited us to bring Heatwave Disco to McChuill’s, there was only one way to do it properly: with the original 7-inch vinyl singles that started it all.

Join us on Friday 31st July for a night of classic vinyl, celebrating the very best soundtrack of the ’80s, with a few unforgettable gems from the ’70s and ’90s thrown in for good measure.

Expect to hear dancefloor favourites from George Benson, Chic, Shalamar and Grace Jones, alongside iconic tracks from Simple Minds, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Waterboys, Madness, The Specials, The Jam, plus classic punk, indie and plenty more. No playlists, no shortcuts- just the original records, played the way they were meant to be heard.”
