Dust down your flares!
It’s been announced that a new summer 70s music event is to take place at Middlesbrough's Stewart Park in June.
But can you remember rocking out at Ormesby Hall's mega-popular annual 70s dress up music night?
For more than 10 years thousands of revellers, including many in outlandish fancy dress, flocked to Ormesby Hall for the yearly gig.
The event, which started in 1997, attracted top 70s music names and major tribute acts.
But the plug was pulled in 2011 because of escalating costs.
At the first outdoor concert at Ormesby Hall 700 people watched the Memphis Belles.
But the annual 1970s jamboree soon took off and grew to regularly attract more than 8,000 people.
Iconic 1970s groups to have appeared over the years have included Hot Chocolate, Boney M, Slade and Showaddywaddy.
And ramping up the 70s vibe have been such quirkily titled tribute acts as Earth Wind and Fire For Hire, Boogie Wonderland, Mercury, Meet Loaf and The Rollin Clones as well as Abba tribute favourites like Voulez Vouz and Bjorn Again.
Take a trip down memory lane with these fantastic pictures from our archives.
