Daily: DISCO RETURNO – Why Britain needs nightclubs
No one looks back and remembers the nights they got plenty of sleep. But beyond a mere boogie, nightclubs play a vital role in shaping our collective and individual identity. Alex Andreou assembles an all-star spinning a-roundtable to chew on how COVID closures have impacted nighttime industries, why the pandemic has deprived us from more than a good party, and how culture goes beyond theatres and museums…
Mairi Mackenzie is a cultural historian and consultant curator for the V&A Dundee exhibition Night Fever: Designing Club Culture. Bay Sisouphanh is Head of Event Sales at London’s Village Underground. Mark Wood is one half of the London Readers Wifes who DJ at Vauxhall institution Duckie.
“You find your tribe at nightclubs.” – Mark Wood
“People will always find an outlet for that need for pleasure.” – Mairi Mackenzie
“Forget about children going back to school. When can we send the gays back to nightclubs?” – Mark Wood
“There's a lack of perception around the value of nightclubs to the gaiety and the mental health of the nation.” – Mark Wood
Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production
