I’m a regular DJ at Dominion (Dublin’s weekly goth night). I have also DJed at Sunday Sessions (Karma club, Dublin), The Stiff Kitten (Belfast), and Whitby Goth Weekend. I love all sorts of music and I play a mix of genres (trad/ebm/industrial/80s music) depending on the club night and whatever the attendees request, but I’m happiest playing trad/punk/etc

Promoter List

DJ Grimly Fiendish
Runs and promotes Misery Of Sound Club nights and Mis-Fest festival, always on the look out for bands etc who want gigs etc.
To get in touch regarding bands gig etc email me at odddboots1@yahoo.co.uk or bandbookings@misfest.co.uk

Info about getting listed and what this page is all about…

The aim of this database is to pull everyone together as it was in the days of yore. We want to establish:

  • Regular Goth Nights – what they are called, when they are on and where. So if you run a regular night let us know!
  • Gothic Events – any one off nights or ANY other gothic related stuff you can think off or know about!
  • DJ list – a list that can be used by WGW or any other promoter or club around the country. Lots of clubs feature guest DJs and we want to help promote you
  • Promoter List – we want to re-establish a gig circuit within the scene. When WGW began, half a dozen promoters worked together to give both UK and foreign bands small tours. Now many of us are promoting our own gigs all over the country but we’re not working together! Finances and timing mean often you may not always be able to offer a band a gig but we intend to mail out clubs and say, “XXXX band are looking for gigs,” and then see how we can all work together to make gigs more logistically and financially viable for bands, clubs and promoters alike.

Email us here at info@topmum.co.uk with your details if you’d like yourself or your event to be listed here.

Thanks,
Jo.
