The Americas Gala Ceremony 2010

The Americas

Show

BONEY M original Maizie Williams

Main Act

The 1970s saw the birth of Disco - 100% freaking, boogying, hustling, bumping, bus-stopping, pure disco dancing. It started in the mid-70s and continued right through into the 80s.

One of the biggest groups to stand out and make their mark was BONEY M. Their career was comet-like in that they seemed to blast out of nowhere. Suddenly every discotheque around the world played Boney M and every TV show wanting to be hip had to have this stunning-looking and fabulous-sounding foursome from the Caribbean.

Now Maizie Williams, who was with Boney M. from the very beginning will be recreating those unique special moments live with her own band of musicians.
