Feeling Gloomy - May 2025: Darkside of the 80s Special

It might be all the joys of Spring elsewhere this Mayday bank holiday but here at Gloom we're delving deep into the dark side of the 1980s for a special throwback miserable edition.

Music

Expect sad songs from the likes of Joy Division, The Smiths, The Clash, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, The Cure, David Bowie, Echo & The Bunnymen, New Order, The Cult, Kate Bush, Blondie, Human League, Soft Cell, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Sisters of Mercy and more

We'll also be playing the odd non-80s track from the likes of Pulp, Blur, Suede, Nirvana, LCD Soundsystem, Manic Street Preachers, etc so it won't be 80s all night long.

Ease your woes with our eclectic mix of melancholic melodies that you have come to know and love at Feeling Gloomy over the past 19 years as we provide the perfect soundtrack to get you dancing with tears in your eyes.
