Love and Death in the Apocalypse at The Victoria Dalston: A triple-headline Halloween special with live band performances from Esme White, Ella Morgan and Domi Hawken! On Friday 30th of October, three haunted artists invite you to Dalston’s favourite watering hole to celebrate the only things that are certain in our present-day dystopian reality - Love and Death! Come all angels, devils, lovers, ghosts, gods and sociable pariahs! Join us for the bad thing at our doomsday parade! Expect a delightfully morose ca-coffin-y of dark music from these three music-making mortals, each known for monster-mashing and marrying genres such as Americana, Alt Rock, Psycho Folk, Garage Blues, and Spaghetti Grunge in ways that resonate with the mausoleums in your heads! If you are underloved, underhated and filled with shame and sin… Bring your horns and halos of trash! It’s time to blast your way to heaven, cheat with the reaper, elope with the devil, break your hearts again and dig your own graves with your homies in our wasteland where things are not what they seem but all your favourite bad things flow freely! You’ve gotta see it to believe it, so COME ON! Grab your tickets and secure your entry to Apocalypse heaven - pearly gatecrashers will be charged extra on the door! DOORS: 19:30 - Live music until 11pm THE ARTISTS: ELLA MORGAN: Ella Morgan is for fans of Cowboy Grunge, Moody Soul, Spooky Garage Rock and Haunted Americana with a whirlwind set reminiscent of a Tarantino soundtrack. She sings like her life depends on it and plays guitar like it owes her money, sharing twisted tales of love, lust, loss, the joy in being bad, and her life-long affair with “the devil”. Morgan has sold out headline shows in London, toured areas of the US, UK and EU, and has recently performed at the legendary Isle of Wight festival and in Paris with her band. The last quarter of 2026 brings a string of exciting releases and live shows. ESME WHITE: Esme White is a guitar slinger with a love for storytelling who writes haunted songs about a variety of topics, including: ugly angels, death, dust, violence, and the apocalypse. She set sail to the UK a few years ago and whilst living in an Irish pub in London she picked up a nasty songwriting habit. Her music jumbles country, folk, punk, hades, bloody noses, and dying dreams. She has built a live following in London over the past few years, and has opened for Jesus at his funeral and Mother Mary at her wedding day. DOMI HAWKEN: Domi Hawken is a London-based indie/alternative artist with a sound that refuses to stay in one place. Drawing from blues, folk, indie rock and alternative pop, her music is guitar-driven, emotionally direct and built around songwriting that doesn't flinch. In 2026, Hawken embarked on an ambitious 12-songs-in-12-months project — one original release every month throughout the year. It's a body of work that spans fierce, riff-driven rock, atmospheric cinematic folk and raw, hymn-like heartbreak, held together by a voice and a perspective that are unmistakably hers. THEME: “Love & Death in the Apocalypse” Think weddings, funerals, distopia, heaven & hell. We want ghosts, grooms, brides, zombies, creatures of the after-life, evil mortals, and monsters from other worldly portals.
