What Happened to the Disco

WHTTD

With a career spanning three decades, including his solo career as a recording artist, releasing music with his band, song writer, DJ, producer, remixer and record label owner, AJB decided that 2025 was finally the perfect time to announce his long-awaited project - What Happened to the Disco Tour? 

Holding the opening night at HOTA was AJB’s goal & with the talented group of performers, musicians, dancers, DJ’s that AJB has put together – the result is a two-hour explosive night of the songs.

Based around The Blue Light Discos from our school days, WHTTD takes you on a journey through the arrival of ‘disco’ music in a period where rock and & country music prevailed. WHTTD follows the ‘disco’ journey thru the seventies & early eighties, including the famous burning of ‘disco’ records thru to the emergence of pop and dance music. All the hits are included from Madonna, Kylie, Whitney, Bros, Rick Astley, Abba, New Order, Cher & many more.

Dust of the disco flares, step into your platforms and head to WHTTD where audience participation is essential.  

Opening Act

Groove Dr B 

I have worked with many artists over my career - Groove Dr B is NOT your typical musician. He is a master chef, cooking up a gumbo of Southern Fried Boogie, Soul Infused Blues with a side dish of good ol’ Aussie Garage Band Rock. Just as soul segued into funk, then to disco, Groove Dr B’s musical gumbo will whet your appetite for the WHTTD feast!!

Music has no limitations, and neither does Groove Doctor Bob. Whether performing as a duo or leading a full band, his passion for authentic, groove-driven music leaves audiences
