no b2 is a dropdown list it looks like this on the sheet....

a2 b2 c2
(dropdown) (dropdown)
January deejay paid OK (this should follow the hyperlink that
takes me to sheet "january deejay paid" where i can update the
information)

the drop down in b2 is dependent on a2 as above should take me to "january
deejay paid" if a2 says "february deejay paid" it should go to that sheet.

Presumably B2 is a sheet name - if this has spaces in it then you will
have to enclose it with apostrophes in your formula, so you might like
to try this:

=HYPERLINK("#'"&B2&"'!A1","GO")

Difficult to spot the differences, I know, but there is an apostrophe
' after the # and before the !

Hope this helps.
