Before
I start, I don’t claim to know everything about the Stoke Goth scene,
and I have probably missed some things out so for a fuller picture
it’s a good idea to check out the 'Web links' listed on the left.
I would say that Stoke has a good Goth scene, all the people that
I know or have met are very friendly, but it can seem a bit intimidating
for anyone new to stoke as most people have known each other for quite
a while.
But you can join the Stokegoth, Staffsvamp, or Gothnight mailing lists
to meet people, or register on Netgoth to get yourself noticed.
I would go along to the local Goth nights and start chatting to people…
we don’t bite, honest!
The scene has changed a lot since I first moved to Stoke. We have
lost a lot of good venues, the Wheatsheaf has gone which used to host
some good Goth nights and bands, The Stage is now called The Sugarmill
and seems to cater more for the dance scene. Chico’s once catered
for Goths but is now not as Goth as it used to be.
But the Full Moon and Talbot occasionally have local bands playing,
for example Lupine, Maelstrom, Killing Mercy, and Projekt come over
from Nottingham.
Stoke does have a good Goth scene as there is always something going
on in or around Stoke.
