MIDDLESBROUGH'S disco connoisseur and former Britain’s Got Talent contestant, DJ Murray Mint, has announced he will be bringing his famous 70s disco show to the recently refurbished Grangetown United Community Hub.
The DJ and his colourful cast of professional performers will hit the stage on Friday, September 10.
DJ Murray Mint and his Luv Bug dancers have been performing together since 1999, blasting out timeless disco classics across the world, from Germany to Lebanon. Audiences can expect to hear a flawless selection of disco classics, including ‘Stayin’ Alive’, ‘Boogie Wonderland’, ‘Le Freak’ and many more.
The DJ, who was born and raised in Stockton, shot to fame with his wildly popular performance on Britain’s Got Talent in 2018.

The disco maverick managed to get Amanda Holden, David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and even Simon Cowell on stage, dancing along to his disco hits. Mint and his team of talented dancers earned themselves four well-deserved ‘yes’ votes from the panel.
The DJ’s alter ego, David Robinson has been performing behind the decks since 1986 with a mission to recreate the glory days of disco. Featuring fully authentic retro scenery, stunning sound and dazzling lights, DJ Murray Mint and his troupe of crazy characters, including Ana Glypta and Ingersol, are set to take their audience on an A-Z tour through the music, fashion and dance moves that defined the era.
DJ Murray Mint said: “The Luv Bug Disco Show can only be described as the wackiest, tackiest, takes-you-backiest slice of disco fun imaginable.
“I’ll be transporting you back to the days of disco with classics from the 70s and 80s and a cast of fleet-footed dancers in this fun-filled stage show as seen on Britain's Got Talent!”
