In Episode 2 Nell travels to New York's Midtown, birth place of Disco

Join singer songwriter Nell Bryden for a musical journey through her home town New York. In part one of Nell's Kitchen, she travels to Midtown, birth place of disco.

Join singer songwriter Nell Bryden as she goes on a musical journey through her home town of New York City in her brand new series Nell's Kitchen.

Over the next four weeks, Nell celebrates a different area of the Big Apple that gave rise to a different genre of music, and a generation of great artists. And she looks at the effect that music had on the city and how that music then went on to become popular around the world.

Tonight in Part Two of Nell's Kitchen, Nell travels south to Midtown, that part of Manhattan that gave rise to Disco. On her journey of discovery, Nell travels through Midtown to find the iconic venues that launched the careers of some of the disco divas and talks to Alfa Anderson from Chic about her memories of Limelight and Studio 54. All accompanied by a great disco soundtrack.
