The Disco Lovers Community Event Group was an idea started round a campfire as the English Disco Lovers, a grass roots social movement and community group promoting inclusivity and raising funds through the medium of Disco. They draw on the positivity of the Disco music genre and the history of Disco, spreading a message of equality through music, fun, and positive action:

Since the group's inception in 2012 they have amassed 64,000 Facebook likes, 10,800 Twitter followers, and sold out every event countrywide for the last 3 years. They have raised over £10000 for worthy causes of all kinds, performing all over the UK and Europe, at festivals such as Glastonbury, Shambala, Kendal Calling, Secret Garden Party, 3 years of sold out gigs at the Speigeltent for Brighton Festival and Brighton Pride - spreading their “Don't Hate! Gyrate!” message, and were also shortlisted for the National Diversity Awards 2013.

The Disco Lovers' playlist includes classic and underground disco and classic house, great music for all ages: https://www.mixcloud.com/sam-moffett/.
