SUPERFLY @ WOODSIDE SOCIAL CLUB Superfly, a low-budget blaxploitation film from 1972, was about a small-time, heart of gold gangster (Ron O'Neal), and featured a terrific soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield.

Superfly the low-key Glasgow clubbing institution, hosted by a small West End social club, is run by men who wear their hearts on their sleeves and whose records even the deceased Mr Mayfield would have to admit groove like nobody's business.

The hot and sweaty environs of the Woodside Social lend Superfly a back-to-basics vibe, one which DJs Duncan Birrell and Ian Lamarra are pleased to match with classic vinyl pickings spanning the decades. Northern soul anthems play back to back with James Brown-era funk, 60s psyche rock and old school hip hop. The unwritten law of the club is: if it fills the floor, then spin it.

The bi-monthly night celebrates its sixth birthday next Saturday, offering the chance to reflect on one of the city's most quirky nights.

Founded as an evening of 'psychedelic cabaret' its combination of choice retro sounds and live music have made it a staple of the alternative clubbing scene.

The special birthday event will also take the opportunity to mark the 50th anniversary of the official birth of the British teenager, allowing the Superfly faithful, in Duncan's words, "to enjoy their own extended adolescence."

The evening will feature live rock 'n' roll classics from Rollin' Joe and the Jets, Glasgow's answer to Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Bill Haley all rolled into one, as well as a mods versus rockers DJ standoff, featuring guest DJ and connoisseur of all things mod, Paul Molloy of Friday Street.

And to top it all off, the night will be compered, Butlins Redcoat-style, by the imitable Hugh Reed of Velvet Underpants infamy. The only thing missing will be any original teenagers! Given Superfly's retro leanings, we asked clubbers to tell us which decade they'd like to relive.
