Stardust Disco

Stardust ran at Hallam University's NMB on Friday nights from 1993-2006. Launching the night were DJs The Dean Of Disco and Ben Lenoir.

Calling all Sheffield Hallam University Alumni – do you remember Friday nights at the NMB? Stardust was the place to be, running at the Nelson Mandela Building from 1993 until it, and the NMB, disappeared in the mid 00's. Both still DJing to this day, they played a mix of motown, disco, 80's pop and retro classics that were to be the foundation to keep people dancing for the best part of the next

13 years.The DJ line-up developed over the years, with Jim MacLaine anchoring the night for 11 years and other main room DJs Rufus Brutus and Top Cat completing the DJ roster for the 90's. At the start of 2000 a second room was added to the night. With students who were born in the 1980's now attending university, tunes from the 1990's were now considered to be part of the retro mix. The Blue Room at the NMB became home to Stormin Norman, Dave “The Hitman” Hunter and Joey Fabini as they put together a party set of 90's dance and pop, that even strayed into the early 00's as the years went by. Such was the demand for tickets to Stardust, that in its heyday the night would regularly attract ticket touts outside the NMB. And it wasn’t just about the music. The event featured a variety of special guests over the years, including musical stars and celebrity presenters, including:

The Nolans, Jason Donovan, David Dickinson, Keith Chegwin, Timmy Mallet, George and Zippy from Rainbow, Alan Fletcher (Karl Kennedy from Neighbours) and not forgetting tribute bands including The Cheeky Monkees, Wham/Duran, Super Troopers and Mike Fab Gere and The Permissive Society. Now Stardust is back for a one-off special on its 20th Anniversary. All the DJs who played throughout the years are returning and with the Nelson Mandela Building now demolished (sniff), Stardust has found a new home at the Sheffield City Hall Ballroom. Main Room DJs – playing 60s/70s/80s: The Dean of Disco (1993 – 1996, 2000-2006), Ben Lenoir (1993 – 1995), Rufus Brutus (1994 – 1998), Jim MacLaine (1995 – 2006), Top Cat (1998 – 2000)

Second (Blue) Room DJs – playing 90s/00s: Stormin Norman (2000 – 2003), Dave “The Hitman” Hunter (2003 – 2004), Joey Fabini (2004 – 2006)
