DENISE VAN OUTEN BRINGS DISCOLICIOUS BRUNCH TO GLASGOW THIS AUGUST

TOWIE voiceover artist and nineties star Denise Van Outen is inviting Scots funlovers to join her for a disco brunch this August in Bishopton, Renfrewshire. 

The London born theatre talent who presented 90s show The Big Breakfast on Channel 4, is hosting Scotland’s first Discolicious Drag Brunch based on a concept created by Denise and her best pal Jemma Bolt. 
The ultimate party on Sunday August 27 will see former Eastenders, Neighbours, Strictly and Dancing on Ice star Denise and her glam posse take over Ingliston Estate and Country Club  in Bishopton  for the big bash which plans to unite all on the dance floor. 
As well as a glass of bubbly on arrival, guests will also enjoy a two course meal and an exclusive DJ set from Denise and Gemma as well as fun and frolics from one of Scotland’s foremost drag queens. 
An excited Denise said: “I can’t wait to bring the party to Scotland for the first time. We will have lots of fun on the day with great food and drinks, music, and some frolics courtesy of my divas. Scottish crowds are always up for a giggle and this will be a fab event to blow away some the cobwebs.”
Ingliston estate’s new head of events manager Lynne McDermott who has worked in Ibiza, Dubai and at festival events throughout the world said: “Denise is bringing her brand new concept to Scotland for the first time and it’s the ultimate day out. We can’t wait to have her party in our new Grand Marquee, a permanent structure that can comfortably seat 500 people. Its splendid drapes and crystal chandeliers set a new standard in this much desired form of venue in Scotland.” 
Tickets for the Discolicious Brunch which takes place from 2-8pm are on sale now, priced at £45 per person 

CHAKA KHAN GETS THE DISCO BALL ROLLING IN GLASGOW

AIN'T nobody does it better than Chaka Khan and the veteran disco queen proved it in more ways than one with a disco balling set at Kelvingrove bandstand.
As the crowds over spilled onto the streets of Kelvin Way, a determined Chaka was on fire as she performed a greatest hits set of her hottest anthems from over the years.
The crowd were always going to be in the palm of this icon's hands on this perfect summer evening which saw Jazzie B warm up the sun blessed crowds with a rhythmical DJ set before Chaka herself took over,
And as she took to the stage with a historic back catalogue the ten time Grammy award winner was a real powerhouse as she effortlessly belted through her hits.
The sound was a mix of disco infused soul and funk which saw Chaka free flow her notes from high to low.
Starting with the funky and smooth Do You Love What You Feel it was only a matter of time before Chaka sprang into hits You Got The Love, and I'm Every Woman, Chaka's original hit in 1978 which was later covered as a huge dance track by the late great Whitney Houston.
 Ain't Nobody, complete with lunging dance moves, was rolled out for the witching hour with the audience singing and bopping along to every word.
Us Glasgolians, as Chaka so eloquently called us, knew we were in the presence of greatness as the 64 year old showed us how to do things according to the Queen of Funk.
We didn't want the party to end as we left the West End amphitheatre so we didn't stop. A street sound system gave us the beats as we partied on for an impromptu street fest showing the world that love prevails over evil at a time when terrorist factions are trying to stifle us.
