Music and laughter filled the air last Tuesday as around 2,000 people crammed into Events Square to dance the night away.

The 70s night spectacular, one of the highly popular onshore music nights held as part of the Falmouth Week celebrations was a huge hit with all ages.

Dressed in fashions from the era, the partygoers included those who lived through the 70s, those who long for those days to return and a large number who were not even born when Abba, the Bee Gees, Curtis Mayfield, the Bay City Rollers and The Commodores were strutting their stuff.

There was no shortage of Afro hair styles, medallions, kaftans, flared trousers, tank tops or platform shoes - and that was just the men. The on-stage entertainers' energy rubbed off on the dancers but, more than anything else, it was the 1970s music that made the night one to remember for so many people.
