Whitby Gothic Weekend clubnights

Two years ago Nightbreed Radio DJ martin oldgoth started a club night at the Whitby Gothic Weekend called ‘Nostalgia’ which rapidly became one of the highlights of the weekend. Based on the same premise as the thirteen13 show martin presents it concentrates purely on goth, post punk, deathrock and dark alternative tunes, a rare thing in the UK goth club scene these days where EBM, industrial or metal are sadly too common, and aims to provide a clubbing experience similar to the scene back in ‘the good old days’. You’ll hear the less commonly played tracks that other clubs rely on too heavily, so you’ll get the same bands, but not the same overplayed songs, and you’ll also hear the less played bands too, Belfegore, Flesh for Lulu.. you get the idea. martin oldgoth is joined by two of the UK’s best female DJanes, Velouria Rose and Rae Vinloon, and each event has a special guest.

From March this year another club night joins Nostalgia in its quest to reintroduce people to the scene as it used to be but focuses on the eighties, so its playlist will be more post punk, new wave, new romantic and indie. Again avoiding the cheese that other 80’s nights fall back on Recollection aims to bring back those bands that the dark alternative scene overlooks, so expect Depeche Mode songs that aren’t Personal Jesus or Just Can’t Get Enough, and bands like Blue Nile, Tik and Tok and a lot more of the post punk and indie that Nostalgia can’t find time for. In short, the eighties we remember and the two or three years either side of it where even chart music was good.

Tickets are on sale now for both events from the web links below:
