Radio legend David Rodigan at Peterborough nightclub
Velvet Panache in Peterborough city centre is the venue for a date with BBC Radio legend David Rodigan MBE on Saturday.

Tickets are on sale at ticketsource – and door open at 8pm for a night that promises heavy basslines, timeless anthems, and a crowd full of energy.
New Peterborough band Dead Leaves have released a debut single, “Anima” through Socks on Records this month on Bandcamp only.
