Have just put a deposit on a lovely venue for my 40th Birthday in July...I want a disco specifically that will play 80s..music..(as my era)..lol

Any ideas anyone for songs that you remember from the 80s..

please post much appreciated.x

Depends on whether an invitation is forthcoming or not :-)

I liked the Bay City Rollers.

Yazoo...OMD...The Jam..Human League were my favs!..Especially loved Yazoo..."only you"...The Associates!..You forget dont you..I will have to have a look at You Tube..

Yes Eldrick course you loved Bay rollers!..(eyes up to heaven)..can just see you rocking and a rolling to Bay city rollers..lol...; )

I would have put you down more as New Romantic Eldrick...all that mascara and eyeliner..Tee hee!

yep..they are good ones those...Flock of seagulls.."wishing"..loved that one...So many arent there..(thank you all for those that are giving me ideas)x

I won my first disco dance competition to the sounds of Les McKeown and Shang a Lang.

Apart from Eldrick...; )..

You are in 1970s era Eldrick..

Oh yes, they were 70's....its an age thing. Sorry.

Well, anyway, some things are just timeless classics.

One particularly favourite song of mine was called 'Wandering Star' from a film called Paint your Wagon. That was really good and would be a worthy addition to any discotheque, probably just before the buffet was announced.

Ummmm I was thinking of having ...

Michael Jackson.."Thriller"..to be played prior to buffet being served...has a bit more "edge" to it!

Now humming to myself.."I was born under a wandering star"...see your sentiment there Eldrick..

I was hoping to have an 80s theme yes Angel Joy..but more toned down..As you know theres a lot of 80s fashion out there..so was thinking going down that route...big ear rings..lotsa hairspray!..and eye liner!....My fav Band of 80s was Ultravox...!..dont think I will be wearing a moustache!

lol....memory lane eh?!...yeah I wasnt a "Durrany"...or "Adam Ant " follower..I was alternative..loved the Human League/Gary Numan thing!..Blusher was my thing..and you could see me coming miles away..took me ages putting make up on..takes me 5 mins now!

were you into..The Specials....Madness thing Angel Joy?...Loved Fun Boy Three too...

I think milestones are to be celebrated..I am dreading reaching the big 40..and Im sure I will cry ..coz Im leaving my 30s behind...As I see it..40 is the new 30!..(kidding myself?yep!)..
We all have an era that is important to us..for some..its the 60s..(in Eldricks case the 70s!)
80s are my era..The era of the Rubik cube..and thats still going!

lol...yeah..but they didnt take themselves seriously did they?..music today is all so prentious..and selling..S*x...Madness were great for that time..they wouldnt last now..

My fav video of ALL time was Queen....the one where they are all dressed up..Freddie hoovering...whats the tune called?..memory lapse!

pretentious..meant to say!

"Ive got to break free!"..that video is classic

It was 'I want to break free'

This was an all time fav of mine to dance to.

Note the hen broon look a like in the second scene....:-)
