Disco World Cup

Disco expert and author Tim Lawrence joins Steve in the studio to launch the Disco World Cup.

Steve Lamacq's Musical World Cup returns. This time round, we're putting on the platforms and bringing the boogey with a Disco World Cup.

After getting listeners to share their favourite records last week, a shortlist of 16 has been drawn up, and these dancefloor fillers will go into the hat, to compete for the trophy.

Expert, author and academic Tim Lawrence joins Steve in the studio to help draw the fixtures and discuss the artists that have gone down in Disco history.
