HISTORY LESSON:
Exactly 2 years ago, an embryonic version of what we now know as Fascination80s was born.
The artwork was terrible, but formed the basis of what would come later.
The music was also mostly terrible, as was the venue….

Hey lovely people!
Just want to say thanks for the love and to everyone who's getting the free tickets!
It probably seems weird we are "selling" free tickets but it's really so the venue gets a good idea of how many to expect and have enough staff accordingly.
SEE YOU ON MAY 16!! 🕺💃🪩🍷🍾🍺❤️💜

After pondering a daytime version of Fascination80s for a little while, it's finally becoming a reality!
So far we've got a dedicated presence for Daydream80s on Facebook and Instragram, but more socials to come and a web page too.
If you can follow us there, you'll be up to date on events!

Thank you to EVERYONE who came along on April 11, we had a BALL. Thanks to DJ Dan Brunswick for the superb sets and to UBQ for having us!
There would have been more photos, but my good camera got a bit broken and phone cameras are a bit useless in dark places.
SEE YOU ON MAY 23!!
