| The Charnel House is getting better every month and I must say it's very nice to have a nite that is nearly entirely based round tradgoth. There's some electro and industrial music like Das Ich, Dream Disciples, Suicide Commando etc, played too. There's also the likes of Rammstein, Ministry, Type O Negative and even The Prodigy that also get an airing, so it's a good range and the alchohol is great I must add. Ghost ends the nite very cheery with Leonard Cohen, but I wish he would stop playing Robbie Williams halfway through the event. Please Ghost STOP THE PAIN!!!!! |

| I went hear for the first time for the Christmas party on the 20th and I thought it was great. I cannot say enough good things about this venue!!! It is reasonably priced, the music is great, there are plenty of seats (so no standing around) and the staff are the friendliest I have ever had the pleasure of meeting they really make you feel welcome. I am planning on making up for lost time by becoming a regular in 2004. |

| Feel free to make advance requests on the website! Our DJs have an awful lot of music, and not all of it gets carried to every Charnel House night, so if you make your requests in advance there's a higher chance of getting exactly what you want. |

| My local! Well, it would be If I drank - well worth a visit here for those who prefer guitar music to synths and EBM. Dancefloor is a little strange, what with that huge pillar in the middle looking like it's lost it's temple or something. Hello to Brian and Marie, the nice DJ couple who actually listen to their audience when it comes to requests. Definetley the place to go for those of us who remember the 80's, and a fantastic introduction to the music that stirred our little black hearts all those years ago. Arrive early if you'd like a seat though.
Best night out in Newcastle IMHO! |

| Starting going to this (finally!) this month, and I must say I am well impressed. The website pictures don't do the place justice. Good ppl, good DJ's, good atmosphere, and good beer. What more could you ask!
Oh yeah...good music as well! |

| People are so accomadating here. The DJ's will play just about anything within reason, people will talk to you even though they don't know you, and everyone will make you feel like a prince. I know this is how I have was recieved the first 'proper' time I went there. Possibly the friendlist club I've ever been to. ('Club' really makes the setting sound a lot more impersonal than it really is; it's remarkably convivial.) |

| What more could a goth want, it's dark, it's underground, the music is request driven and therefore excellent and everyone's friendly. If you haven't been I strongly suggest you go, give it try, you'll like it I promise. |

| Okay, perhaps I just walked in on a weird night, but there was 45 minutes of 'Goth-Metal' getting played, two people were dancing (to their credit they remained on the dancefloor for most of the set) and other folk were mentioning the music, with a few noteable looks of puzzlement across many a painted face......okay, yes, Lacuna Coil is nice...we get the message.
What it boils down to, in the end, is that I feel enough treadgoth didn't get played, in place we had Goth-Metal. I don't think this is a good thing......Cuba's virus appears to have spread.
I will return, with a few CD's I figure should get played. Still a great night out - just not sure about the musical policy.....I know it's request driven, but if you are going to request something, at least dance to it and let the DJ know they're doing a good job....now where's that latest COF CD gone....? Hell, it's gothic metal, right? |

| Sorry you didn't enjoy the night. In our defence, we've always played 'goth metal' like Type O Negative, etc. There was a 20 minute set of it last CH after a huge number of requests for Nightwish/ Lacuna Coil, all of which were passed on to Kev36663 as Ghost and I don't even own any of it! If it's any consolation, it felt like 45 minutes to me as well;)
You can keep your CoF CD, even Viper won't play that ;p However, you know we'll play your more sensible requests :D quite happily. |

| Now that was much more fun! Excellent Christmas night with nary a dubious goth cover of a festive song in sight! Fantastic idea to spread the goth metal evenly throughout the evening as well instead of lumping it all together in one slot.
Amazing music all night actually, wonderful use of Dead Can Dance for atmospherics during the buffet interval - Sopor, PWEI, Rammstein, Bauhaus....I was a very happy goth indeed.
Congratulations to Brian, Marie and Kev for a wonderful time. Glad I left the COF CD at home. |

| We've redesigned the web site. It should be much easier to use now. Our future dates page is now automated (so we don't need to remember to update it so often, hehe) where each event links to the entry here on NetGoth, so you can easily tell people that you're coming along.
The link's at the top of this page! |
