Miss Disco is the ‘new’ band featuring the seven long-time members of Uncle Funk & The Boogie Wonderband who left the group in February 2020.

Bassist and Saffron Walden resident Dave Clarke (aka DC1) said: “We are very excited to be returning as Miss Disco to headline the Dance in the Square.

"After 18 months of lockdowns, this is going to be one hell of a celebration in front of our home crowd.”

Moonshine Coyote uses mostly hand built cigar box guitars and custom-made instruments and loves to play traditional blues and Americana flavoured tunes.

Organiser Jacqui Portway said: “After the disappointment of having to cancel the Dance last year because of the pandemic, the Initiative is looking forward to putting on a great evening of music and dancing this year.

"We are asking the public to use their common sense about being Covid safe."
