•The Retro Revival Party Night at Belle Vue Conservative Club in Wakefield has become a beloved event for music fans, particularly those over thirty, and it continues to draw crowds from across the area. The themed night, which celebrates the music and style of the seventies, eighties, and nineties, takes place on the last Saturday of each month. However, this August, the party will kick off earlier at 5pm on the 29th, aligning with a home match for Wakefield Trinity RLFC against the York Knights.
Music and Nostalgia
Hosted by local DJ Jon Butler, who performs under the name DJ Jonny Chardonnay and runs a retro mobile disco service called Jonny's Retro Roadshow, the Retro Revival Party Night offers a nostalgic journey through three unforgettable decades. The event is filled with classic anthems, feel-good hits, and a lively atmosphere that keeps guests dancing all night long. Butler's passion for the music of the past shines through as he engages the audience, making it a night to remember.
Guests are encouraged to embrace the theme and wear their best retro outfits, whether that means flares from the seventies or neon leg warmers from the eighties. The night promises not only music but also a bit of karaoke for those who want to take the mic and sing their hearts out. While fancy dress is encouraged, it is not mandatory, so everyone is welcome to join in the fun.
Community Spirit
Victoria Ramsay, the club manager, expressed her excitement about the community that has developed around the club:
“It is much more than just a club – we have built a fantastic membership community and are always delighted to welcome new members. Our retro party nights have proved incredibly popular and continue to attract lots of interest.”
Ramsay highlighted that the club has seen significant growth and now offers a variety of events throughout the year, all aimed at creating a welcoming and friendly environment for both members and visitors.
