Nile Rodgers is currently riding high in the charts bringing his guitar mastery to the addictive Daft Punk collaboration Get Lucky. Sure to soundtrack the summer of 2013 with its throwback disco sound, the West Holts Stage welcomes him and Chic, the original perpetrators of floor-filling funk, to show the robots how it's done.
Responsible for groove classics such as Le Freak and I Want Your Love, Chic came in to being from two session musicians, Rogers and Bernard Edwards working together in 1976. Super producers as well as talented musicians, they are responsible for producing Sister Sledge's We Are Family album, working with David Bowie on Let's Dance plus creating hits for Duran Duran, Madonna and Grace Jones.
With their back catalogue sampled on a number of classic tracks - notably Rappers Delight by The Sugarhill Gang - their influence on popular music is phenomenal. Witness the re-birth of disco at Worthy Farm this summer.
