Meet the Team
From a club night to an in-demand entertainment service…
At the turn of the millennium a new club night appeared in Brighton – Stick It On. Instead of going to a club and taking your chances as to what music a DJ might play, Stick It On let the punter get behind the decks and play three of their favourite tunes. It went down a storm and word quickly spread. Based at The Hanbury Ballrooms and then Komedia, Stick It On became a regular fixture on the Brighton clubbing scene as well as hosting Bank Holiday and New Year’s Eve specials.
Fast forward to 2018 and Stick It On is now an in-demand entertainment service specialising in weddings, private parties and corporate events. They now travel the length and breadth of the country to host gigs, and the Stick It On brand has even reached as far as Australia. The company has grown from its beginnings as a two-man-band as demand for events increased, and Stick It On is continuing to expand each year. We’re always on the lookout for new talent to join the team, and it’s not just about being a great DJ. A Stick It On host needs to be an outgoing, enthusiastic multi-tasker who’s equally at home behind the decks or working the room!
