Discotheque UPDATE number 8I posted this article by hand before in Feb this year (on page 1), but I thought I'd let you see the article as it was from Disc and Music Echo Jan 11th 1969 and the picture of Dianne Greaves that went with it 
To follow the "Discotheque" research postings from the beginning please see pages 1,3,6,8,9,10,12 and 15

hi william ,many thanks indeed mate for the article about the gojos dancing to guantanamera on totp ,it was very interesting in the fact that we now know what the costumes were for that particular dance ,i once asked jo cook how on earth she interpretated that song ,and she said it was done very carefully with a rumba feel in mind ,but she didnt describe the costumes ,anyway its a good job the public and the producers of totp didnt think the same way as the reviewer in the paper ,if the GoJos hadnt made an impression on totp and the public ,i hardly think that they would have carried on employing dancers on the show ,and if dance troupes werent popular i dont think they would have given pans people a chance ,because if something didnt prove popular on totp then it was out .

Hi william ,thanks for the offer ,i dont know if you will find any details ,but if its possible could you have a look and see ,if there is any info on granada tv new pop show that started 1st november 1968 called discotheque ,only there is very little info anywhere about this pop show ,also do you know if the pop show lift off,which began november 69 is mentioned anywhere ,in the papers ,many thanks. According to the Disc and Music Echo Billy J.Kramer was going to fly out to Australia on the 1st August 1969 to promote "Discotheque" and his new single of the time. Hopefully, the Australians bought old episodes of the show which might still be lingering in their archives somewhere?
