Devon Funk & Soul Club Presents:
BOOGIE WONDERLAND (or Bongo at the Beehive)... the very best
in Disco & Boogie
What happened to Disco? Well, it's STILL A THING!
'BOOGIE WONDERLAND' is back after our first celebration of
all things Disco at the Beehive back in January. Expect a retro discotheque,
with all the great sounds, big wooden dance floor, and dazzling lights you'll
remember from those brilliant nights out you had back in the heyday of Disco
and ’80s dance. On Friday 21st August we recreate the 'Best Disco In Town' with
a deep dive into the most iconic tracks from back in the day - so here's the
breakdown of the music styles you can expect to hear on the night...
DISCO... the lush string-washed tunes with the big
production that filled dance floors between 1974 and 1980 - from the
underground New York clubs to begin with, then the mega-discotheques around the
world later in the '70s, and...
BOOGIE sums up many of the club dance sounds between 1980
and '86(ish) that evolved from Disco into club music with a more electronic
feel, but still with a driving beat and great soul vocals.
This music is so good, it works it's magic on fun-loving
folks of any age. On Friday 21st August, we give you this uplifting, joyous
music, and a magical place to dance - Honiton's Beehive. Come and join us for a
night like no other!
••••••••••••••••
We're also delighted to have the company of Marco Bonafini,
the author of 'Stoned Angels' - the book about how disco and clubbing exploded
on the Italian Riviera in the mid-'70s! You can meet Marco and buy his book on
the night. A message from Marco to you all:
Ready to boogie? Discover my book at the 'Boogie Wonderland'
event and let The Groove take over!
Before Studio 54 Club and 'Saturday Night Fever', something
magical happened on the Riviera. A Club became legendary for forging a new
generation. Clubs, parties, love, and friendships were their lifestyle.
This is a true, funny story, about a period where naive
carelessness prevailed, life choices were far away and still to be taken.
'Stoned Angels' is a one-of-a-kind account with
international references to the disco era mentioned by British DJs and writers.
Let the music move you, and let my story inspire you!
ABOUT THE VENUE: The Beehive's main auditorium has more than
2,000 square feet of dancing space on a well-maintained sprung wooden dance
floor. There will be plenty of tables on which to rest your glasses, and plenty
of seating should you need to rest yourself! The bar will be open from 6.30pm
(30 minutes before the event begins) so you can get a drink and chat before we
get you dancing. The Beehive's helpful stewards will be on-hand to assist with
just about anything you might need.
There is limited parking available, with nearby on-street
parking and a public car park a short walk away.
See you on the dance floor! 💃🕺

Nothing Concrete is a six-piece international band based in the French Pyrenees, led by Scottish songwriter Fergus McKay.
Rooted in original songwriting, the band brings together a wide range of influences, blending blues, world music, jazz, cabaret, folk and swing into a sound that is both distinctive and hard to categorise. Their music is deeply danceable, often witty, and always alive with a sense of mischief and purpose. With sharp musicianship and a strong live presence, they create a genuinely immersive experience that's thoughtful and entertaining.
Their songs often carry a political edge, but never lose their sense of humour or playfulness. That balance of substance and style has helped define a band identity that feels eclectic yet coherent, adventurous yet accessible.
In 2025, they released their fourth album, The Imperfectionist, to widespread praise, with reviews calling it ?a masterpiece? and ?joyful, nostalgic, and just a little unpredictable.?

Laurent Tirard’s hilarious comedy sees Mother Veronique and the five eccentric sisters of the convent of St. Benedict set out to save the local nursing home by entering the local bicycle race…
When the local nursing home finds itself in dire straits and in danger of falling to pieces, it’s down to Mother Veronique (Valérie Bonneton) and the five eccentric sisters of the convent of St. Benedict to find a way to help.
Spotting a poster for a bike race with a €25,000 cash prize (and the incentive of a trip to the Vatican for the winner!), the sisters might just have their answer. The only drawbacks are that they are terrible cyclists, and their rival convent, led by Mother Veronique’s childhood nemesis Mother Josephine (Sidse Babett Knudsen), have their own plans for the prize money – and just a little more experience… But God works in mysterious ways!
Forever Queen – the ultimate tribute to Queen
An electrifying stage show that pays homage to the greatest band of all times – QUEEN
Forever Queen are a 4 piece Queen tribute band based on the South Coast and have been bringing a kind of magic across the UK and occasionally over the seven seas of Rhye for over 17 years and have played some of the best venues in the UK and abroad.
Queen has been one of THE most successful rock bands of all times and, as musicians, it is an honour to be able to recreate their music and image in our shows. Playing Queen isn’t just about singing their songs, it’s about the little things as well which we try to show through the music, props and costumes. We hope that our attention to detail highlights the lengths we go to in order to provide a true experience of Queen.
