FASHION lovers bagged themselves some bargains while a member of Golden Square Shopping Centre staff who is no stranger to the decks played top class tunes during a student night.
Dave Whittle has played sets in Ibiza, mixed tracks with Rudimental and performed to 7,000 clubbers in Cologne.
But the 31-year-old can usually be found working for the maintenance team at the shopping centre.
He said: “I’ve worked all over the place as a DJ but I’ve got two kids now and I need a full time job really. I trained as a joiner after school and I’ve been here for four years now.
“The night was really good fun, it made a refreshing change to offer a different kind of service.”
Stores also got in on the act offering goodie bags and discounts to students last Thursday.
Ian Cox, Golden Square Shopping Centre director, added: “Knowing that student budgets can be tight, we wanted to create a special discount night just for them shortly after their new college or university year has started.
“The atmosphere was great thanks to Dave’s magic on the decks and I think our young, trendy shoppers enjoyed kitting themselves out in the latest fashions at special prices just for them.”
