Jacky’s Jukebox has provided music for the LGBTQIA+ Community and their friends for over 25 years and it has been joined by Charles’s Jukebox to continue this grand tradition.

DJ Charles Chan, who has been mentored and endorsed by Jacky herself, is a well-known face amongst the community and plays regularly at London Dance Studio, Pink Jukebox, Rivoli Ballroom and The Dance Lab.

This iconic night will continue as a pop-up and offers a mixture of Ballroom & Latin music, Sequence, Argentine Tango, Salsa & Swing, plus a range of line dances developed in the dance halls over the last five decades.
