About Me


itch club
Since it's launch in March 2003, itch (Preston's sporadic and nomadic hip hop funk soul jazz house and broken beat flavoured club night) has gone from strength to strength.
Over the last few years, the always up for it crowd, has seen sets from guest dj's and bands such as Domu (Co-Op), Diesler (Tru Thoughts), RSL (Players), Jon K (Eyes Down), Treva Whateva (Ninja Tune), Chris Holt / Two Mellow (Curli-que Records), Gordon & Boney (Twisted Nerve), Posh & Billy (Jazzin the park), Stan Lee (C'Mon Feet/Ginglik), Paul Cottam (Action Records) and Beatphreak (Fat City / Jack to phono).
After doing events at The Student Union's 53 Degrees, Hush, Adelphi and Blowing Wild, we've finally found a venue to call home...
