Vivid Vinyl, the nationwide club-night set up by Tom Cole and John Gibbons, was launched in an effort to buck the trend and attempt to kick-start change in the stagnating Irish dance-music scene.
“For too long Irish clubs and promoters have been force-feeding clubbers with a diet of tiresome and uninspiring, commercially driven repetition to the detriment of the previously strong underground scene”.
“Vivid Vinyl is an unashamedly back-to-basics return to what made clubbing special for so many people in the first place - the experience.”
"From the moment clubbers enter a Vivid Vinyl night anywhere in the country the difference and attention to detail is instantly tangible - from the club decor to the refreshing bass-driven underground music policy. The focus is at all times on maximising the clubbing atmosphere."
