Denis Lehane: A 'Liveline' appeal for the return of the slow set

After my emotional plea for the return of the slow set on RTÉ's radio show, callers from all over the country rang in wailing for the return of Bonnie Tyler, Michael Bolton and Foreigner, writes Denis in this week's Lighten UP

The demise of the slow set and the disco in general, was one of the greatest crimes ever perpetrated on the citizens of rural Ireland.

If there is one thing I feel passionately about, it's the slow set.

Over the years, I have written extensively about its demise and my longing for its return.
