Who We Are

Audio Bar One Ltd was born from a shared love of epic parties, unforgettable music, and seriously good drinks. Founded by Matt and Andy—two seasoned pros with decades in the game—we bring energy, experience, and an eye for the details that make events truly shine.

Andy cut his teeth in the 90s rave scene, mastering sound systems and DJ sets long before most people knew how to cue a track. From warehouse dancefloors to the golden beaches of Ibiza, he held down residencies at iconic venues like Bora Bora and Manumission. As the head of the Audio and Light services, you can be sure it'll be loud, wild, and beautifully lit!

Matt’s journey took a different path—into the heart of the UK’s booming craft beer scene. As founder of BIG HUG Brewing and a key player at Portobello Brewery, he’s got an address book that reads like the who’s who of the drinks world and brings a wealth of high-end event and hospitality experience to every project. As head of the Bar provision service, you can be sure it'll taste as good as it looks!

They teamed up in 2024 to launch Audio Bar One: a next-level events company built on quality gear, serious know-how, and a mission to make every party legendary—big or small, private or corporate, all in. Let’s make it unforgettable.

Who We Work With

We light up some of the South East’s most iconic spots—partnering with standout venues and brilliant booking agents who know how to throw a party.

From the elegance of The Grand, Malmaison, and Hotel Du Vin Brighton, to the rustic charm of Tillingham Vineyard and the stunning grounds of Buxted Park Hotel, we’ve been there, lit that.

We’re proud to work closely with our friends at The Unity Agency, and we’ve powered unforgettable nights at Bridge House in Penge, The Courtyard in Hastings (home of the epic Battle of Hastings BMX Festival), Printworks, The Piper, and the legendary Marina Fountain—forever in our hearts.

Oh, and shoutout to our Ibiza crew for the occasional invite to the ever-iconic Pikes.

What a ride!
