Celebrating a year of body-moving parties, Leeds club night Angie’s Disco will be hosting a special birthday event on Sunday 28 August, with DJs, singers and a special performance from the Paradox Orchestra on the cards.
Held at iconic rooftop venue East 59th, club night founder Angel Lee has spent months organising what she hopes to be a bank holiday bash like no other.

"And for our first birthday I wanted to do something really special. I got talking to Mikey Sluman [from Paradox Orchestra] and we decided to team up and do something for Angie’s Disco’s birthday.”
Combining a big band sound with much-loved dance classics, the city’s own Paradox Orchestra will be fulfilling the disco brief with hits from all decades, throwing in some funky house for good measure.
"I'm really excited because I've always wanted to work with musicians,” Angel went on to say.

Angie’s Disco starts at 5pm at East 59th on Sunday 28 August, with music until 11pm.
Residents of Angie’s Disco will be performing alongside Angel, with guest artists also joining the party’s line-up for the first time.
"It's really exciting to be able to do a collaborative project with another Leeds-based artist who is also an alumni of Leeds College of Music,” said Mikey Sluman from Paradox Orchestra.
