On Tuesday, the 20th January, DJ/Producer Greg Wilson will join Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy to explore his ‘Credit to the Edit’ compilation which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. The album features Greg’s masterful re-edits and reworks of classic disco, funk and electro tracks and connects both the past and the present. This has always been Greg’s ethos since he began DJ-ing 50 years ago. Tickets are free but limited and must be pre-reserved.
Greg Wilson is a DJ legend who has held residencies at the Hacienda and Wigan pier and was an early pioneer of re-edits and re-works which are now a staple for disco and dance DJs. In fact, he was the first in Britain to do so, reworking Paul Haig’s ‘Heaven Sent’ in 1983. That was the same year in which he became the first DJ to demonstrate mixing records on two turntables on television for Jools Holland on the programme The Tube. He is also a podcast host, journalist and historian with a host of great stories to tell.
So come along, settle into Hidden Groove’s Hi-Fi cocktail lounge and savour a perfectly mixed drink while experiencing the album the way it was meant to be heard: on vinyl, in full, and in crystal-clear sound.
Doors 6:30 pm and Event 7 to 9 pm
