DJ Kath McDermott
Photo: Tom Quaye33 years DJing in every den of inequity Manchester has to offer and still hasn't got a proper bio...
Kath was a resident at queer jamboree Flesh at the Hacienda for 5 years, then on to Paradise Factory. After a while she was the first resident at a new night called Homoelectric. ("It'll never last" they said).
She played regularly at lots of other places- Vague, Garlands, Trash, Ministry of Sound.
She still plays occasionally when it’s a good do because she is a terrible show-off, but most of the time when she is near bass bins she would rather be dancing like a loon than having to concentrate on putting on records.
She makes exceptions for special nights run by special people who really care about clubbers having fun like Social Service, Homolectric, Bollox, Kiss Me Again, Homobloc and the lovely Heavenly crew.
Kath is proud to be a co-founder of the annual fundraiser for women’s charities and one of the best nights she has ever played at - Suffragette City.
