It’s official: Friday night Kitchen Discos are back for good!
Sophie Ellis-Bextor is bringing back her weekly discos as lockdown continues, after a string of one-off shows in recent weeks.
Taking to Instagram, the Me and My Imagination star penned: “KITCHEN DISCO ANNOUNCEMENT.
“Honestly my postman doesn’t know the joy he bring me! I bought a fab massive bow headdress too and some other party bits because WE’RE GOING TO KEEP DOING THE DISCOS UNTIL WE ARE FREE TO PARTY IN PERSON.
“So see you Friday night 6.30pm right here,” confirmed Sophie.
The original run of Kitchen Discos ran from March to May, 2020, with special shows through the latter half of the year.
In early 2021, Sophie began performing again with fortnightly shows, hitting a new peak audience of 5,000 viewers during the gigs.
The Kitchen Disco shows spawned Sophie’s first Greatest Hits album, ‘Songs from the Kitchen Disco’, released last year.
The LP features the star’s biggest hits, along with cover versions performed during the Instagram Live gigs.
In our review of ‘Songs from the Kitchen Disco’, Retro Pop called Sophie a “brilliant pop star and one of Britain’s premier songwriters,” noting that “20 years into her career, her music is as wonderful as ever”.
Its turning into a packed year for Sophie, who will see her first three albums – ‘Read My Lips’, ‘Shoot From The Hip’ and ‘Trip The Light Fantastic’ – pressed on vinyl for the first time in Summer 2021.
In addition to hosting the third season of her hit podcast, ‘Spinning Plates’, the Take Me Home (A Girl Like Me) star is working on her seventh album, which is due for release soon.
A memoir, ‘Spinning Plates: Thoughts on Men, Music and Motherhood’, is also due for release on October 7 and available to pre-order now.
