Norman Jay MBE - DJ set

Brighton has a great event lined up for the spring calendar that should appeal to anyone who appreciates quality club music with roots in soul and disco. On Saturday, April 4, 2026, we’ll be hosting a DJ set by the highly regarded Norman Jay MBE. He’s consistently described as one of the most respected deejays working today, and his reputation is built on delivering sets that are far more interesting than your average night out. If you’re looking for a sound that moves beyond the mainstream, Norman Jay MBE is known for expertly blending rare groove, classic soul, pure disco anthems, and some deep-cut house tracks. It’s the kind of musical journey that promises a relaxed yet energetic atmosphere, perfect for kicking off the weekend.

The venue for this particular set is Quarters, located right down on the seafront at 187-193 Kings Road Arches, BN1 1NB. It’s a fantastic spot to catch a respected artist like this, especially as the weather starts to improve in early April. The event is scheduled to start relatively early in the evening, with the music kicking off at 6:00 PM. This timing makes it accessible whether you want to make a full night of it or just enjoy a few hours of top-tier music before heading elsewhere. Given the nature of the artist and the venue, the crowd is likely to be focused on the quality of the music being played.

If you are planning to attend, tickets are currently available. The pricing seems to vary slightly depending on the platform or tier you select; we’ve seen entry prices starting from £6.95, though other listings indicate prices closer to £15.20. You can secure your spot through major platforms like Skiddle and Eventim UK. It’s definitely worth looking into if you appreciate a DJ who has spent decades curating and perfecting a sound that celebrates the best of dance music history. It’s a chance to see a genuine legend in a local setting, delivering the kind of set that reminds you why he holds the reputation he does.
