Painless Parties

Painless Parties Painless Parties was founded in 2002 by Nick Painless to host and participate in events throughout the UK and beyond

Painless Parties was founded in 2002 by Nick Painless to host events in England, Scotland, Wales and the rest of the known universe

These events come in two main forms, the first of which is the Boiler Room which consist of live bands with a heavy metal soundtrack played by Nick himself. The second is The Black Cat and Top Hat which are burlesque and cabaret shows which have a dark twist to thei

r nature

Over the years Painless Parties has had great levels of success from playing DJ slots at various venues such as The Purple Turtle and Club Anti-Christ both in London, Whitby Gothic Festival and the now sadly departed TJ’s which was in Newport, Wales

DJ work isn’t the only thing that Painless Parties has tapped into over the years as Nick has appeared on BBC 3’s Snog, Marry, Avoid where he taught P.O.D a lesson or two. He was also requested to appear on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent where he performed several demonstrations from his circus side show Organ Grinder

If you are feeling brave enough you can even hire Painless Parties to perform at your wedding, funeral or other private function of your choosing

After three days, this year's Soul Train Weekender has sadly come to an end

During this time, I spent a total of twelve hours playing music, moved more PA equipment than I care to think about, and drove approximately fifty-two miles to reach venues across our beautiful Island

Yes, I’m tired, but it was certainly worth it. I caught up with some old friends and met new ones along the way

A special shout-out goes to Lulu, who kept me on track at these gigs, even though she has a foot in a cast due to four broken bones. It's a change for me not to have a body part in a cast while hosting gigs

I’d also like to extend my gratitude to Andy, Lee, and all the staff at The Old Village Inn in Bembridge, The Falcon in Shanklin, and The Tap in Sandown for booking Painless Parties

Until next time

Goodnight, thank you, and may your Gods be with you
