Locals turned out in force last Friday night as Disco Revolution transformed the Gerringong Co-Op into a Studio 54-inspired dance floor.
With more than 200 tickets sold, you couldn’t keep punters off the floor as DJ Diggz and the Disco Revolution band served up classics from Donna Summer, Tina Turner, The Bee Gees, KC and the Sunshine Band and more.
Glitter was the order of the night, drinks flowed and the atmosphere was buzzing.
Jay Jaksa, the female lead vocalist, was an absolute standout. Her striking style and signature big hair lit up the stage, but it was her powerhouse vocals that truly stole the show.
She was perfectly complemented by Michael Marino, whose electric energy and crisp voice had the crowd up and dancing from the first note.
Of course, no disco experience is complete without a horn section, and saxophonist Mariela Mulder delivered.
Her groovy tone and smooth solos added the perfect pinch of disco spice.
The band is a tight, well-rehearsed unit that clearly knows how to work together to deliver an unforgettable night.
The Bugle spoke to fans who had travelled from as far afield as the Southern Highlands, Wollongong and Shellharbour, all drawn by the chance to relive disco’s golden era in style.
"What an incredible vibe, colourful, fun and a great atmosphere,” Co-Op event manager Erica Warren said.
“Disco Revolution was yet another extremely successful event at The Co-Op Gerringong.
“After a string of great events in 2025, we are planning our 2026 line-up.
"With just three events left for 2025, Thirsty Merc which is nearly sold out on November 16th, a great day of local music on November 8th and join us for the best Fleetwood Mac Tribute Show on December 6th - a great event to do your Christmas Parties and get together."
So next up at the Co-Op is Live & Local on Friday 8 November, a free community showcase that promises another big turnout.
From smooth soul to funky grooves, the line-up has something for everyone:
Tayah Larsen: soulful and captivating.
Emma & Ron Davison: harmony-rich acoustic originals and classics.
Night & Day Duo: high-energy, genre-hopping fun.
Boyznberry: upbeat, funky and guaranteed to get you dancing.
Food and drinks will be available all day. Bring your mates, grab a drink, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon that rolls into a lively evening.
Best of all, entry is free - just come as you are.
