A NIGHTCLUB is launching a Studio 54 theme night with rollergirls, bus boys and disco music.

The Atlantic bar and club, off Duke Street, Darlington, will be kitted out to represent the exclusive New York 1980's nightclub Studio 54 and will feature a gallery of black and white photographs from the original venue.

The photos were taken and supplied by Allan Tannenbaum, whose work included a series of pictures of John Lennon and Yoko Ono ten days prior to Lennon's death.

Nigel Wanless, of DNE production company, has organised the night, which will be held at Atlantic on Thursdays from 10pm until 2am.

"We are dressing the club similar to Studio 54 inside and the gallery of photographs will look fantastic," he said.

The night will feature bus boys serving cocktails behind the bar and rollergirls Holly Good and Beverley Hills serving drinks on skates.

The launch, with champagne reception, will take place on Thursday, November 25. For VIP tickets contact Mr Wanless on 07866 423082
