Revellers were treated to some top tunes from the 1980s by a pair of adventurers looking to raise cash for a disabled children's charity.

Soo Turner, 29, and Darren Lane, 35, were at Chinnery's bar, in Marine Parade, Southend, with their charity disco.

They are heading off to hike through the Grand Canyon in Arizona in June to raise funds for the disability charity John Grooms.

Darren and Soo, who live in Westcliff, hope to raise £5,000 for the charity, which is dedicated to enabling physically handicapped people to live independent lives.
