Memorial event to be held for ravers wanting to pay their respects to legendary Manchester DJ

An event is to be held to celebrate the life and legacy of legendary Manchester DJ. Stu Allan, who introduced a generation of Mancs to house music, hip hop and rave died last month, aged 60, after a year-long battle with cancer.

A fan-favourite on the rave scene in the 1980s and 1990s with his Sunday night shows on Piccadilly Radio, he was one of the first DJs to play the likes of A Guy Called Gerald, 808 State and Sub Sub.

He was also a pop star in his own right, clocking up 13 top 40 hits as part of 90s eurodance act Clock. Robbie Williams and DJ'ing legends such as Carl Cox were among those to pay tribute after the sad news of his death was announced.
