The daytime disco event will be the first of its kind to run at Whitburn Library which will bring the community together through music.

Inspired by actress Vicky McClure's and Johnny Owen’s ‘Day Fever’ afternoon concerts in the big cities, the library wanted to put on something similar for the community.

Catering for the over-30s, it aims to give people the chance to party "and still make it home in time for dinner".
