\u00a0 The Radio kaleidoscope road show, better known as “Discophonic Discotheques”\u00a0was based at Hadleigh and Stanford-le-Hope , Essex.<\/p>\n

The two main DJ’s were ”\u00a0Mr\u00a0H<\/a>” and “Steve T<\/a>” who teamed up in 1968 and soon established a string of clients who regularly booked them for a variety of functions from weddings, anniversaries to social clubs, Bar Mitzvah to Masonic Halls. Night clubs to Irish clubs everyone was catered for both young and old.<\/p>\n

The original Twin DJ record deck-consoles used by Discophonic Discotheques were always specially ordered usually in red cloth from “Sound Electronics” London, the record decks were Garrard SP25 MkIII supporting Ceramic pick-up cartridges, the microphone was a Sure Unidyne II<\/p>\n

In the seventies Simon Stanway of Hadleigh Marching Militaire joined in providing set up assistance and background music.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
