Stick It On Bank Holiday All -dayer At King & Queen
Published 2nd Mar 2007 by Roby Drysdale

Yes, folks the first King & Queen of 2007 is on the horizon and will be no
doubt upon us before we know it. We are just putting the finishing touches
to the day but thought we would let you know the score so far. Our special guests for the day include the legendary 'Barry Peters' - Halifax
Hospital radio DJ extraordinaire. Barry will be coming straight down from his
residency at Zany's Niteclub in Skipton and will wow you with a flamboyant
discography of timeless tunes. By his side as ever will be his son Kevin who
will be pulling off some stunning dance routines and you will soon come to
realise that the old skool entertainer is far from dead.

The live show is a combination of sharp witted anecdote, classic party rocking 80’s tunes and Flashdancer fever moves and grooves. As the story unfolds, Barry orchestrates a dance troupe with Kevin and his pals – limp wrested disco champion J.J Jones and mysterious oriental eye-candy Derek Japan. The act, Triple Threat sends the crowd wild at every Zany’s Entertainment gig – unleashing their camp but sharp contemporary dance routines to awestruck audiences.

Another special entertainer appearing during the day is Beardyman. He is
Brighton based and holds the coveted award for being UK’s Beatbox
Champion. If you haven’t seen him on You Tube, Myspace or a Graham Norton show you’ll be in for a real treat but you’ll just have to wait and see.

We’ve tried to pack in as much as we can during the day which will include
some top tucker courtesy of Reggae, steady, cook who will be serving a
selection the caribean’s finest and will ensure that those who arrive early
enough can line their stomachs and insure that they don’t embarass themselves
later on during the day - the days a marathon not a sprint remember :).
Musically the day will begin with a little bit of live music (yet to be confirmed) but we are aiming to have a wee bit of gypsy jazz to get everyone jigging about to warm up those limbs for the day ahead. Fear not if that little bit of exercise results in a slight strain or two as you can book yourself in for a free 15 minute massage from the SIO Therapy Rooms courtesy of a number of fully trained and qualified masseurs who will be happy to give you the once over and ease you into the rest of the day.

The Wigon Casino will be making a welcome return for all you husslers out there so remember the golden rule no wig no play. Music will be played coutesy of a few of Nothern Souls finest. Forever wanting to push the boundaries of the day we are also opening up a new room never been used before which which will play host to some dirty beats and breaks played by Brighton’s pioneers Dave Henley from Pressure Drop, JFB.

Oh yes and last but not least Stick It On will be bringing up the rear (as
usual) giving some of you the chance to spin 15 minutes of your favourite
choons. To enter the draw to play go to www.stickiton.co.uk and click 'Apply To DJ' button at the top of the page and send us the the following details - DJ Name, 15 minutes of your favourite choons and a contact number. We’ll then
enter you into the draw that will be pulled a few days before the event to
determine who the lucky few are.

Stick It On Bank Holiday events have been running for a number of years now
with the likes of The Cuban Brothers, Chas ‘n’ Dave and DJ Derek all popping in and doing their thing. This year we are striving to maintain the standard of music diversity and hopefully providing some great entertainment not forgetting an extra large dollop of FUN added to the mix.
