So much disco dust consumed behind the scenes. Classic

[@JamesSmith-rh4is]

There should be a movie about this guy.

ED looked to buy my party/ball event biz in Scotland in late 80's. Drove up to Edinburgh in a Bentley with some sidekick...can't recall why I turned him down, was young and stopped doing it not long after. Was fun times/era, I used to go to the London balls, some fabulous memories.

Good grief, these people are my age....I was 16 going on 17 in early '88. I wonder where the plonker on 10' with the traintracks on his teeth is now. Presumably paying himself an enormous bonus in the City somewhere.

[@Dreamskater100]

I worked for Davenport back in 2006 through Kerr Agency, secretary. Who would've thought...

[@Packiexp]

British old nightlife it's legendary..

The Balls were enjoyed by thousand. .The crowd was great and its only jealous people who slag them off

[@GVGames1986]

I thought so, I am the shy type that prefers my own company but I am not going to go around insisting people are not allowed to have fun!

[@webbtz3591]

The same people who have caused the economic crash in 2008. Toffs.

I like how the interviewer is an Australian average bloke who’s just not having it.
