So what is this site all about ?

• Well, I like to travel and I like to go to Goth Clubs.
• I like to go to Gothic Festivals
• I like to go to weird travel spots, some of them vaguely gothic

For a number of years there was a brilliant site at vamp.org, but about 2 years ago the site died hasn't been updated. :-(

So now I find myself hunting on various forums when I go somewhere, trying to find what clubs are on. This can be a little hard when you don't speak the language, trawling through forum posts, hoping to spot something for the day you'll be in town. So this site is designed to be a clear list with info such as, the usual day the club is on, location including directions and venue details.

There will be over time a bit of content from my photo collection & I hope others will want to share their views on different clubs and events. (forums, galleries, comment entries with the listings)

Here is a quick run through of some of the clubs, festivals & things I've been to, which should give a good idea of why I have started this site :-
