News: GOK returns to the Masonic Hall, Feb 2nd.
God Only Knows started life as a pipe dream in a pub. With a
lack of any real events
in Howden since the demise of the legendary Club Bongo,
it was deemed necessary to take action. Rob Barker, Jamie Farrow and
Ian Holt wanted a local night in which they could hear a seemingly
random play list of indie, rock, soul, dance and funk tunes past and
present. However they also knew from experience how great it was to
hear the occasional classic TV theme tune thrown in there, not because
it was ironic, but because it made you happy. These three renegades
decided, as nobody else could be bothered, to organise a club night for
friends, locals and well....anyone, with the help of local
entertainment organisation Howden Live.

GOK has a new
forum: let us know
who you are in there and what you'd
like to hear at the next GOK. Alternatively post spam until it breaks,
like the last one.
Starting out on November 26th 2004, GOK featured a performance
from The Bonnitts and a nicely shambolic first night in which the crowd
was
small, but glad to be there. Then with increasing crowds,
came increasing professionality ...until someone split brown booze all
over the lighting desk. Anyway, GOK's ever-faithful patrons took it in
good stead - some barely even noticing. From then on GOK flourished,
featuring the regions top indie bands and household names such as Ed
Tudor-Pole. In the Autumn of 2006,
GOK moved home. A more close-knit venue proved popular, and the lack of
bands wasn't missed at all. This gave us more creative freedom and our
ethos flourished - GOK 12 featured two guest DJs for the first time.
Coupled with the spangly lights, a strobe that only worked when it felt
like it and cheap booze, St Cuthbert's Masonic Hall proved to be a
winner.
