BBC\u2019s reality television show Strictly Come Dancing<\/span><\/a> might be the buzzword on dance floors elsewhere across the UK, but here in Cardiff, it\u2019s still possible to rock with ‘Fabulous’.<\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

Featuring a fusion of Northern Soul, Reggae, R&B, funk, indie and ska sounds, Fabulous\u00a0is Cardiff\u2019s most established Mod scooterist club night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul Reeves, a longstanding member of the group says, \u201cFabulous was created in 1997 when a group of\u00a0five friends got tired of having to travel miles to listen to the blend of music they enjoyed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The friends then decided to buy the required equipment, sound deck and lighting and found a suitable venue in Four Bars at Dempseys<\/span><\/a> Irish pub. That\u2019s how the first Fabulous event came together, explains Paul.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fabulous recently celebrated 18 years of entertaining soul dancers in Cardiff.<\/span><\/p>\n
