Steve Mason
Background
Steve developed his DJ skills playing soul and
heavy rock nights in the expanding disco market
of the early 70s. Success in a talent show put
his DJ career on hold as his singing performance
won him a contract with a leading Northwest
agent. This introduced him to the cabaret and
social club scene where he was to rub shoulders
with some of the biggest name acts of the day
such as, Peters & Lee, Tom Jones, The Drifters,
Jimmy Ruffin, Hot Chocolate, Mud etc as well as
numerous comedians. You might have seen Steve
appear on Granada TV's Prime Suspect.
In ‘91 Steve got a degree in Electronics and
Computer Engineering during his time as a
technical manager for Radio Bolton. Where he
trained volunteers to use broadcast equipment,
managing OBs and broadcast disciplines.
Steve has Dee Jayed in the hotels and clubs in
southern Spain where he hosted cabaret shows and
organized disco dancing competitions and karaoke
talent nights.
In 2006 he returned from Spain and signed up
with one of the biggest agencies in the
Northwest, ‘UNIT ONE’, where he has proven to be
a popular choice for corporate venues right
through to house parties. |

“I would like to provide some feedback on the excellent
service supplied by Steve Mason at my mother & father’s
golden wedding anniversary. I am quite sure my mother will
supply her own thoughts in due course. However, it was
because she wanted me to sing that the change of DJ had to
be made for someone who could accommodate both the music and
singing piece. Steve Mason did this in abundance! He was
exceptionally professional and I would like to pass on my
thanks for his great service.” Aug 26 Hilton Hotel St.
