Forget what the southerners may tell you, back in the 80s, Leeds was the true home of goth. Leeds goths enjoyed the unholy trinity of the Duchess, Le Phonographique and the Warehouse, not to mention the Fav for drinks beforehand. The Warehouse went dance, the Duchess turned into a clothes shop, and the Fav turned, quite literally, into a trendy wine bar.
Even the Phono, once described in the Mission's biography as the "centre of Morbid activities", closed at the end of 2005, but before it died it had spawned the "Friday Flock"... a celebratory sort of goth night with a contemporary feel, whilst still being infused with all the dark history of it's infamous origins!
Back in those glory days, clubs like the Phono used to play music that goths wanted to hear, rather than some narrow definition of what "proper goth music" was. Friday Flock isn't stuck in a Sisters-clone graveyard, we want to play the sort of stuff that you have at home (or at least should have!).
We want to play everything from Rammstein to the Ramones, Bauhaus to Bruderschaft, and yes, perhaps even some Marilyn Manson, but more importantly we'll be playing the "proper" stuff too... and yes, that definitely includes the Sisters! Friday Flock is a traditional goth night that plays contemporary music... just like the old days!

There are an ever-growing number of galleries devoted to the 2005 events here.
A whole year's worth of 2004 galleries can be found here!
The main Black Sheep gallery can be found here.
What we'll do:
Send you the occasional email, probably once a month, telling you about any forthcoming Black Sheep related events. We're notoriously lazy, so unless its something terribly exciting and last minute, it won't be any more often than that.
What we won't do:
1. Give away or sell your email to absolutely
anyone ever, for whatever reason, even if
you might want us to. No, not even if
it is for free porn!
2. Spam your mailbox with multiple announcements
for the same event.
3. Make it difficult to unsubscribe. There
will be a one-click method of unsubscribing
on every email sent by the list.

FRIDAY FLOCK The Subculture Wade Lane Leeds West Yorkshire |
Black Sheep is the most recent incarnation of the Phono's long running Sunday goth night, it is also the innocent lamb that spawned the Friday Flock monster.
Now at the Subculture, it's still the same request-friendly DJs and regular guests playing "all shades of goth, past and present".
So it's a bit like Friday Flock then, only a bit smaller, and it's probably best not to think about the consequences on monday morning too much either.
