Kaleidoscope Roadshow was the brainchild of THE BOSS (AKA BOB) and was born in the fantastic year of 1982, starting off as just a hobby, with 2 turntables and some hand built light screens. As time went on the amount of light screens grew and when fully assembled and switched on they created a Kaleidoscope effect.
Growing in popularity the disco went from being just a hobby to a business opportunity, with the aim of providing the highest quality entertainment for our customers. We attributed the growing succes of the disco to the way we worked, this was different to the current trends of talking over half the record, trying to tell bad jokes or only playing music the dj wanted. Instead of this Kaleidoscope Roadshow was letting the music speak for itself, not telling jokes, playing music that was requested by our customers and by keeping microphone use to an acceptable minimum, this way we let the music speak for itself and the jokes were left to the comedians.
With the addition of Bob's faithful son (Jon) Kaleidoscope Roadshow moved in to the future and while the technology and traditions may have change our aim has stayed the same to the present day, we still encourage and take requests and we still keep microphone use to minimum.
Kaleidoscope Roadshow has travelled all over the U.K. supplying good times for many families and Orginizations such as The British Army, Wiltshire Constabulary,Hampshire Constabulary, Wilton Royal Hunt, Le Crueset, Virgin Megastores, BHS, Arcadia Group, Sparsholt College, Fair Oak Carnival, James Hay Solicitors, Y Zone Youth Club the list goes on and so do the good times.
All of us here at Kaleidoscope Roadshow enjoy what we do and are more than happy to go any distance, any time for anyone that wants to have a good time.
Behind the Lights
Here is your chance to take a look at the faces "Behind the lights" here at Kaleidoscope Roadshow:
BOB

This is Bob, The Main Man, he doesn't get photographed very often because he prefers to be the other side of the lens but likes to have a laugh, always happy helpful and stays calm even in the trickiest of situations.
Bob is a fountain of knowledge and wisdom especially when it comes to music and can really rock a party no matter if you want the traditional party classics or something a bit alterantive..
Born in Banbury he has requested that his age not be on here (spoilsport!).
JON

This is Jon and is not only Bob's right hand man but also his son, he takes after his Dad in the fact that he is always smiling and friendly. Jon has been working on Kaleidoscope Roadshow's team since he was a tender age of 13 and through being around music and the DJ culture for so long he really loves the feeling of getting a crowd going and you may see him get a little carried away trying to dance behind the lights during the night. Musically Jon loves a bit of everything although he is most passionate about soul, funk, and motown but also has a guilty pleasure of all those cheesy favourites..
Born in Salisbury in the great year that was 1982 making him a respectable 29, and has recently been made a Daddy himself to his ever so cute son "Mackenzie"and more recently his daughter "Melody" who was a great Christmas present.
