THE MAFIA WEDDING

The wedding reception

At the local wine-tasting society funds are short. But it is 1978 and disco dancing is all the rage! In a sufdden flash of inspiration, the committee decides to hire Fabian Devine, resident DJ of the Kinks Discotheque to provide an evening's fund-raising entertainment. But amongst the platform shoes and dodgy dance steps a local cub reporter is about to discover a wine that delivers a particularly severe type of hangover which requires sleeping off… permanently.
