Bust out the sequins and prepare to boogie because Marcia Hines is back with the national Velvet Rewired tour. 

The discotheque tour, which was initially derailed by COVID-19, will kick off at the Wynnum Fringe festival before heading interstate.

Hines told Laurel, Gary & Mark disco represents a “joyous” time in history.

“I think of discos as a really happy time and the costumes, and the circus acts and all the things that go with it make Velvet Rewired fantastic,” she said.

“The disco era came out of a very sad time in the Vietnam War and all of a sudden, disco came, there was bad fashion, fantastic music, really bad shoes…

“If you didn’t grow up during that time, you even hear it in the movies you’re watching these days.”
