“One of the star’s of this year’s Latitude Festival according to shedworker Nikki Spencer was the Disco Shed.”
Shedworking
“The rain disappears and we power forward to a night of dancing outside the Disco Shed, oh yes, it’s a disco which emulates out of a humble shed, and it’s a right hoot.”
Latitude festival blog
“…we headed back to the trusty Disco Shed to find one half of Hexstatic were doing an unscheduled but utterly amazing DJ set. As the crowd chanted ‘last year’s headline set, this year’s disco shed’ we wondered off to bed and watched the dawn break”
In The News
“One final mention – Perhaps the greatest find of the weekend and the scene of one of the best Saturday nights I have had at ANY festival over the last 15 years. Ladies and gentlemen..all rise and give a round of applause for the one and only…. DISCO SHED!!!!!!”

“DISCO SHED rocked my festival. brilliant atmosphere, fantastic tunes 🙂 can we have them back next year?”

“Hats must be raised first to Aidan (Skylarkin’) and Paddy (Peepshow)’s ingenious Disco Shed, in the market area all weekend. Like a more inclusive outdoor Miniscule of Sound, the ‘disco shed’ puts in an impressive tour of duty keeping a happy crowd dancing and raising smiles from camping passers-by for the majority of the weekend, with sets of almost Tenaglian length from both DJs. Waiting for the toilet to the sound of Josh Wink’s ‘Higher State of Consciousness’ may not help the bladder, but it certainly helps the festival atmosphere.”

“And then there was the Disco Shed. It will be a thing of legend, I’m sure: one shed, two blokes, mixing decks and a glittery disco ball. There were plant pots and garden gnomes, all on a little hill where countless people danced well into the night. It was truly magical how good that little shed and the music emanating from it made everyone feel.”

“One of the less chilled things happening at the Big Chill festival in the UK this weekend was the Disco Shed. Pitched up in the middle of the site by Oxford based DJs Peepshow Paddy and Skylarkin. They entertained people with low key DJ sets during the day; supplying deckchairs, a gazebo and lo-fi TV/video players with Jane Fonda work out videos for mass aerobic sessions.
When the club tents and stages closed down on the last night, all those who just didn’t want to believe the festival was about to end migrated to the shed for an impromptu rave, cut short only for security reasons.
You can give people well organized festivals but it’s this kind of magic that will stick.”
