CLYDEVIEW Academy pupils took a step back in time to an age when disco was king.

Their production of Disco Inferno brought the 1970s back to life in all its glamour - with glitter balls, men in platforms and bell bottoms.

In a four-night sell out summer show, the Clydeview cast had the audience in a fever with their own take on the hit musical.

The disco divas told the tale of wannabe rock star Jack and his ill-fated quest for fame.

Top hits Boogie Nights, Celebration and Hot Stuff were on the playlist as those watching were sorely tempted to dust off their old dance moves.

Co-director Michelle Bowman, a maths teacher at the school, said: "It was a fantastic show. Our young people put so much effort in.

"They have been rehearsing since January and are incredibly committed.

"It is a great opportunity for them to showcase their talents."

Former sixth year pupils Charlie Stables and Stuart Leech stepped in to co-produce the shows, demonstrating their expertise in sound and lighting.

They worked with directors Michelle and Valerie Forsyth to pull off the mood of the musical.

Michelle added: "It really is a team effort. This was only our second show and we are already working on getting the license for the next one."

Others in the team included musical director Alan Beck as well as staff, pupils and former pupils working behind the scenes.

Out front, Scott Nichol took on the lead role as Jack with a double effort from Gillian Mitchell and Lauren Robinson as his love interest Jane.

Scott Dick played Tom, and Bethan Dunsmore and Lareun McClure both starred as Maggie.

Stepping into Heathcliffe's shoes was Jordan Osborne and his girlfriend Kathy was played by both Claire Docherty and Rhona Marshall.

Disco Inferno tells the tale of Jack who trades his soul to make his dreams come true after a chance encounter with Lady Marmalade, an associate of the devil, in a nightclub.
