Here's a list of the nights I have run in the past and some I have been involved in leading up to what I am currently running....

REALMS OF DARKNESS
My first project which started in 1998 in a pub
(The Central Hotel) in Birkenhead. From then on it
went from strength to strength and steadily
progressed. Various locations included the Boothill
Saloon and Stairways in Birkenhead.
As well as having much loved theme nights we had bands
on such as Killing Miranda, Inkubus Sukkubus,
Squid, Zombina + the Skeletones and Narcissus Pool.
Unfortunatley had to finish it when I moved to York.


THE ABYSS
Held at the Masque in Liverpool this one was a short
lived project of about 3 months due to the venue's
crap organisation and double booking loads of
nights (pity as it was really good for live bands)
This was more of a general metal/alternative/goth
night which worked well, particuarly when I had the
bands on. eg. Squid, Diamanthian, Nightmare Visions,
Sacculas, Hecate Enthroned etc...


DARKLANDS
My 3rd project started Feb 2002.
Started off in Stairways and ran for a year before I moved to York. A few Darklands live gigs went on in the Zanzibar in Liverpool. Bands included The Last Days of Jesus, Killing Miranda, Malaise, Squid, All Living Fear, Saints of Eden, Conspiracy and Sykotic Tendencies.

On moving to York we ran for a few years at Cert 18 then moved to The Junction for a few years before it closed, then back to original venue, now called Stereo, where we are currently based.
Bands have included Screaming Banshee Aircrew, 616 Abortions, Undying Legacy, Sleeping Children, Lizard Smile, Psydoll, Uninvited Guest,
Razor Blade Kisses, The Way of all Flesh, Rhombus, All Gone Dead,
V2A, Deviant UK, The Cruxshadows, Global Citizen,
Pink Hearse, Uberbyte, Sins of the Flesh, The Sisters of Murphy,
Voices of Masada, John Merricks Remains, Heilige Lance,
The Royal Dead, Lupine. The Realm, Violet Vortex,
Dyonisis, Spekulus, Vince Ripper and the Rodent Show.


MIDIAN
Started April 2002 in Liverpool. This event was organised by Tags and I was the reident DJ. Dj Aesthetik took over on my departure for York.


ENSHROUDED
Joined up in feb 2004 with body electric dj's Simon A
and Von Suhl to do a monthly midweek night.
Then changed venue and name to.....

SHADOWPLAY
The new takeover night from Enshrouded started in Jan
2005, with myself and Simon_A taking to the decks every last monday, monthly at The Black Swan pub in York.
Unfortunatly not running anymore.

THE HAUNTED CRYPT
Started November 2011 as a joint venture with DJ De'Ath.
A gothic themed social evening with all the down tempo and more
atmospheric music that isn't played in the gothic clubs.
Set in Yorks Most Haunted Pub ' The Golden Fleece' in the only permanently gothic themed function room in York! Runs on the 3rd Thursday
of every month.
