It’s exactly 50 years this month since the Fiesta opened its doors, in August 1970.

Over the next decade, some of the very biggest performers from across the globe would visit the Sheffield club, famous for its 1,300 seat amphitheatre and chicken-in-a-basket special.

Stevie Wonder, The Beach Boys, Olivia Newton-John and the Jackson Five were among the big name musicians that enjoyed week-long residencies, as well as comedians including Les Dawson Tommy Cooper, and Bruce Forsythe.

From her place on the reception desk in the club’s foyer, ‘Little Di’ - as she was known to many - would get the chance to meet them all.
