"Oh yes. The George Hotel, Burslem. Saturday 17th May 2008."
"For a while, it looked like Godless was no more. When the festival started, it was one of the coolest, most fun shows in Staffordshire. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the camararderie amongst bands and fans alike was second to none. We've had bands from all over the UK (Cornwall to Aberdeen) come and play, and even a few acts from The Netherlands. We've had young local bands play their first ever show at Godless, and more established bands such as Mendeed, Speed Theory and Gutworm play Godless as part of a national tour.
So what went wrong? Our original venue closed down a couple of weeks before Godless 6 and we salvaged the show by moving each stage to seperate venues on the same road. The atmosphere wasn't there and it just wasn't right. We struggled to find a new venue, but eventually found one in Hanley. We had to compromise the day, and Godless was held for the first time on a Sunday. The security guards were hostile towards the fans, refusing entry to kids wearing hooded tops, preventing any 'mosh shenanigans', threatening people for the most trivial of things, and generally bringing everyone down. Wankers. The show had some great moments, but the magic of the early Godless shows simply wasn't there. The venue closed down shortly afterwards.
I decided that I wouldn't do another 'Godless' unless I found the right venue in the right location, with good people to work with, and would let me put Godless on a Saturday. I thought that it was unlikely I would find such a place. Fortunately, thanks to Darren from Junction15, I discovered the George Hotel, which is an awesome venue. Game on."
