Back to Tarlee Disco featuring DJ legend Sparks Disco "Tony Clarke"
Who can remember going to discos during the 70’s, 80’s and even the 90’s? They’re few and far between now, but the community of Tarlee is about to change that as they’re bringing theirs back on April 20th.
Around 300 people are converging on the lower north town to revive the atmosphere that once filled the Tarlee Institute to help raise funds for Tarlee’s Inclusive Playground Project. Heading up the entertainment is the Barossa Aussie Rock cover band, The Barking Ants and DJ legend, the front man of Spark’s Disco, Tony Clarke, a man who has been entertaining crowds on the dance floor for 46 years.
The farmer from Tarlee, is considered an absolute icon, giving back to communities near and far, helping with their fundraising efforts by providing the legendary beats for their event. In this episode, we'll be skipping down memory lane with Tony about the good old disco days.
