First two In the Black MidVinter announcements

Coming as absolutely no surprise to anyone everything will begin as it basically always does with the absolutely wonderful experience that is AMereKat 
Goth’s favourite Ukulele botherer will once again captivate, amuse and open the festival with aplomb. Somehow it just wouldn’t seem right without them.
Their ability to get the party started as it were, not with a bang so much as perhaps a mood is quite remarkable. Offering both significant mirth and at other times utterly heartfelt emotivity (is that even a word? – Ed) there’s nothing quite like the Amerekat experience.
What do they do if you don’t know? Well mostly it tends to be Ukulele based covers or rather reworkings of well known songs, frequently from the Goth scene, but then they do offer incredible feels with such as the lockdown infused original “You Can’t Catch Covid From Tears”. Last year at our request, knowing their star trek obsession, we were delightfully treated to a song about Q. (Not anon mind, the star trek entity, obv).
This is always just the perfect way to begin things in the most wonderful way.
And another announcement today (and we’ll leave it there for now..)

Dierotica – a decidedly new band that we’ve been hugely impressed with. When it comes to presenting what may be described as Goth sound we absolutely feel Dierotica nail it. Their incredible sound mixing a bit of shoegaze in with the gothy style is utterly incredible.

They are based in Manchester and to our knowledge at this time haven’t made an appearance outside there (which in the coming months may change) and we really think they are going to be very very much in demand soon. So this may indeed be a great opportunity to catch them in a more intimate setting.

In the Black Midwinter Returns..

 

This year excitingly we’re putting the festival on at the fantastic Samuel Worth Chapel in Sheffield General Cemetery.

We have an incredible line up of new talent and some more established acts. Plus a fair few familiar names from past events. As ever the idea will be to not rely on ‘vintage’ talent, we want this to be as fresh as possible. Within reason at least.

Full announcemnts of line up to be made of the next few weeks. Along with tickets. Due to the greater cost of the venue and limited capacity it’ll be likely £50 for the full weekend this year.

<span;> Circle is the synth-based project of UK born/US raised musician Gregg Neville (Golden Gardens/The Vera Violets/Push Button Press/Reliquia) incorporating elements of darkwave, post-punk, techno and EBM. Now with a live lineup featuring members of Supernova and Reliquia, Spire Circle performs an aggressive yet danceable version of darkwave with a DIY ethos.

<span;>–
<span;>Manchester based Goth/Darkwave project with a certain punk proclivity too.. An intense and powerful dramatic and driving sound with performance and attitude to match.
<span;>Very much occupying the feel of many a post punk act from the late 70s early 80s without being a tiresome copy.
<span;>Jan Doyle Band
<span;>Known for somewhat genre ambivalent approach to sound, here presenting their ‘goth’ set that occupies a more atmospheric and generally lower tempo that most they do. Though it’s certainly known to get a greater intensity as it progresses.

<span;>@dierotica
<span;>Very new to the scene having only been gigging since late august but already utterly captivating. An incredible Queer Shoegaze/Goth sound proving sometimes the expansive atmospheres and soundscapes of the former whilst also giving a brilliant dark drama of plaintive goth sound in other moments. Within a minute of listing we were instantly smitten.
