Micky 2 Sugars returns to MiMo!

Having made his MiMo debut at The Old Court in 2023, we’re delighted to welcome Micky back for our 20th Anniversary celebrations!

A familiar face on the local music scene and a regular at the much-loved Penn Festival, Micky knows how to get a dancefloor moving.

From old-school house classics and funky grooves to deep, progressive and tech house, Mickey’s versatility means you never quite know where he’ll take you next!

He’ll be joining us in the Auditorium on Saturday 7th November for what promises to be a very special celebration.

Who remembers Micky’s first MiMo appearance back in 2023?

Drop us a message for tickets and come celebrate 20 years of MiMo with us! 🖤🤍

We’ve had some sad news — our lovely Mickey 2 Sugars is down with the flu and unfortunately won’t be well enough to join us this Friday 5th December @goldenballpub 😢 We’re truly sorry to hear this, especially as we were so excited to have him on the line-up for our @dejaviewevents Xmas Soirée.

Sending him lots of love and wishes for a speedy recovery. ❤️ Don’t worry Mickey — we’ll absolutely have you with us for our first ever event in 2026!

In true Deja-View Events family style, the wonderful @simonzwa.dj is stepping in at short notice and will be joining Girls Record Lounge and Jon Paul on the decks this Friday. Huge thanks to Simon for stepping up — as you know, we have an incredibly talented team of DJs on the Deja-View list, and Simon became part of the family earlier this year with his debut at The Stag.

Expect nothing less than great music, great energy, and a beautiful night to kick off the festive season. 🎵
Simon will be starting us off at 6pm.

Sending love to @the_rolling_dj — get well soon - we’ll be Missing You ❤️✨

🎉 The Countdown Is ON! 🎶

This Saturday 2nd August we will be returning to @thestagpubflackwell for Deja-View StagFest 2025 and this one is extra special.

This is where it all began for me and @granatjon – two locals with a shared love for music and people. @dejaviewevents was born thanks to the support of Emma Jamieson and The Stag Heath and from that platform, the concept has grown ❤️🎵

But sadly we’ve learned that Emma and Charlie will be leaving The Stag at the end of September. So this year’s StagFest isn’t just another event – it’s their send-off, our final Deja-View at The Stag, and a celebration of everything we’ve built together. 💛

If you aren’t already you need to join us from 2pm and the weather is looking good ☀️ for a day of music, memories, and dancing 🕺 💃 Let’s give Emma, Charlie, and The Stag the unforgettable StagFest they truly deserve.

A huge thank you to all the amazing DJs @granatjon @nikkitdj @girlsrecordlounge @the_rolling_dj @scottjd48 @holmesey.77 @simonzwa.dj @djnashville @jaypontin @lee_robson303 and of course you fabulous people who’ve been part of this journey. Let’s do what we do best…get great people together, with great DJs and music and embrace the Deja-View 🌅 🎵❤️💃🥂

So July is disability pride month. I am going to be completely honest, I as a disabled person do not know how to feel about this. Don't get me wrong, my disability has shaped me, made me who I am and it is due to my circumstances that I am one of the most determined resilient people around. However, as to whether it is something I can take pride in I'm really not sure.

I struggle with so much self doubt at times and recently the self doubt has been very strong. Yes I have done all these amazing things, I am an athlete and an academic but at times I do question whether this really matters?

Within BJJ I have seen numerous people with less severe CP competing too and whilst on one hand it does help me, it also makes me doubt my place in the sport. What is someone with my level of CP doing when I feel like otters are able to set a better example.

At the same time, I have done all these things and do stand out but I constantly feel irrelevant and unwanted when it comes to employment. I know I am capable of so much and yet at a time where I feel like I need to get to the 'next stage' of life because of my age I am always made to feel so small. Even the fact that I am so strong, yet struggle to do basic things that many take for granted is something that at times rocks me to my core.

Regardless though I do my best to carry the responsibility and represent those with disabilities in a positive light. My journey has led me to some amazing people and experiences and I hope that in some way I am making a meaningful impact and showing others that they too belong.

If I cannot necessarily take pride in my disability I will take pride in the fact that regardless of everything I keep going and trying to move forward 👊🏻

I hope people don't mind me being vulnerable as we move into this month.

Happy disability pride 💙.

Para jiu jitsu and adaptive martial arts in general mean a lot to us……it’s also becoming a genuinely exciting sport to watch. Some of the athletes we have worked with have created the friendliest arms race in history, leading to some of the sneakiest variations on moves I’ve ever seen.

As well as catch and freestyle wrestling, Para jiu jitsu will be a big part of the new ‘seiðr grappling games’ on February 15th. If anyone is interested in competing or spectating, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

As I have been struggling with a lot this year, especially towards the second half I thought to myself what have I actually achieved? Does what I am doing actually matter?

I then looked back through photos from the year and realised that it has been a mad year and I'm not going to lie, I almost cried.

I competed 5 times this year;

1. February: Berserker Brawl @godsofwar_mma
2. May: @godsofwar_mma Opening
3. July: Berserker Brawl
4. August: @reorgopen_bjj London
5. November: Abu Dhabi World Para Jiu Jitsu Championships

That is insane, despite only winning at one of these I stepped up and improved so much in my Jiu Jitsu and I should be proud of that as well as the discipline and dedication I have shown. I got to show myself on the world stage too.

On top of all this I managed to produce one of the most unique MA dissertations, where I got a 75, completed a pre advanced Japanese module and a linguistics module, achieving distinctions across the board.

I am one of the most active competitors on the para jiu jitsu scene and smashing it academically and 2024 has allowed me to do that.

Thank you to my friends, family and coaches without who this would not be possible. I love you all 💙. What a year 👊🏻.
