DJ Paul Stainton Returns for One-Night Only Set at Peterborough Cathedral’s Old Skool 80’s & 90’s Disco

July 19, 2024

Shanghai Sams icon (are you sure? Ed) and renowned 5th Avenue DJ, Paul Stainton, is set to make a triumphant return to the decks for a special performance at Peterborough Cathedral. Scheduled for Saturday, August 17th, in the Nave, Stainton will perform a guest set alongside DJ Asif Shaheed.

Paul Stainton, whose sets became synonymous with Shanghai Sams and 5th Avenue in the 80’s and 90’s, has been lured out of retirement for this exclusive one-night engagement. Attendees can expect a nostalgic journey through the iconic sounds of the era, mixed with Stainton’s signature style, that captivated club-goers across both decades.

Paul has not touched the decks for over 25 years, after swapping nightclubs for radio and television but said he was lured back by the chance to perform at the Cathedral, where he now works as head of marketing & communications;

“I have been retired from the double decks for over twenty-five years but even at the ripe old age of 47 (eh? Ed) you never lose your passion for music or the crowd on the dancefloor. I have played some massive venues in my time but none as iconic and amazing as the Cathedral. It’s a chance to roll back the years and relive the memories of Peterborough’s great clubs like Shanghai Sam’s, Rinaldo’s, 5th Avenue etc and enjoy the music of that era once again. One thing is for sure, this will be my final gig, the knees can’t take it! (unless a big money offer comes in, Ed)”
