- 1997 - Angel starts playing as a guest dj at The Devonshire Arms in Camden.

- 1998 - Nocturnal Promotions formed. Nocturnal Dreams, a monthly club incorporating the gothic, metal and fetish genres is held at The Forum, Royal Tunbridgewells.

- 1999 - Nocturnal Promotions held gigs for Killing Miranda, Swarf, Deadstar Brides and Womb at The Albert pub in Brighton as well as live bands monthly at The Devonshire Arms with acts such as Sneaky Bat Machine, Leisure Hive and local unsigned gothic bands, which although proved successful, was dissolved after a few months. In May, Angel found inspiration in the Los Angeles alternative scene when he played Bar Sinister and Coven 13. Upon his return to the UK, he approached the home of heavy metal and Iron Maiden, The Ruskin Arms, and launched a gothic, industrial night on Fridays. He promoted a black metal all-dayer with acts such as Throne Of Nails, Ligature, Frustrum and Solice Denied. He also did a hard core all day event with BDF, Knuckledust and 50 Caliber. Around this time, he was approached to play a night for a group of Goths from Edinburgh, who booked James Ray Gangwar to play a set at the Red Eye music venue near Kings Cross.

- 2000 - DJ Angel was asked to organise bands on Sundays at The Red Eye in Islington, London. Until the close ofthe venue, Nocturnal Promotions played host to bands such as Akercocker, Gllibrujer, Two Witches, Occupational Hazard and Interlock.

- September 2001 - Angel was approached by Stranger Promotions to fly to New York in order to promote the launch of Slimelight, New York at Long Black Veil with DJ Ian Ford. He also played the party at The Limelight for club Zenwarped.

- 2002 -The Intrepid Fox in Soho, London was contacted with the idea to become a resident DJ on Saturdaystill its closure. This inspired him to move more into the rock and metal glam scene a passion for many years.

- February 2003 - Stranger Promotions again approaches Angel with an offer to play Perversion UK@Slimelight, which ran on a monthly basis until it's sad demise in late 2004.

- March 2004 - Along with with D-Void from the industrial band, Avoidance of Doubt, he was involved a three-event club night called Anti-Christ at The Electric Ballroom in Camden, London. The club incorporated performance artists and dj's from across the alternative scene. In June 2004, Angel started another club called Inferno at The Electric Ballroom, which would incorporate rock, metal, industrial and goth in one club. Inferno received rave reviews from magazines such as Alternative London which creates the atmosphere of Full-Tilt, Slimelight and Perversion and still runs on a monthly basis on the 1st friday of each month.

- Present day - Along with Inferno Nocturnal Promotions are involved in various projects including promoting bands at London’s newest rock venue Bar Monsta in Camden Town, London, England.

- DJ Angel was resident do for The Mission's Lighting the Candles Tour in 2005 and the launch party for the said dvd was held on August bank holiday Sunday.

- Nocturnal Promotions wishes to keep the alternative scene alive and is open to being approached by bands. He has a policy of always playing any cd's from unsigned bands with the hope that publicity will accrue interest. I can be contacted at: [email protected]

- Nocturnal Promotions helped launch club Antilight on Saturday 22 April 2006 and promised a proper venue and real dj's as well as bands whom you love!!! The evening featured Industrial metal band Avoidance of Doubt which saw them waste camden town, next up were the uk's premier gothic metal band Killing Miranda whom gave the crowd their disco necronomicon fueled set...

- On 20.05.06 saw "Bloody Mary" playing live at Antilight along with the top Industrial,Old School Gothic DJ's from the uk scene which was a resounding success, unfortunately in August 2006 Nocturnal Promotions parted company with its partners to concentrate on other projects.

Angel returned to the new Intrepid Fox With DJ Belle to open a monthly glam rock night called "Leopard Skin & Safety Pins" which started on the 4th Friday of the month Playing the best in Glam, Rock & Hair Metal.but sadly this night lasted a while and stopped but may return...check press for details!!! (/pInferno is now in its 3rd of running and played host to Jyrki 69 from the 69 Eyes on June 3rd 2007 where he did a special glam rock set on the upstairs floor to a great reception following their sold out show at The Barfly London.
