Indiependence preview: Ready to roll with the Belters at Mitchelstown festival
Belters Only bring their dance sounds to Indiependence.
The pandemic crashed through Robbie Griffiths’ life like a truck into a petrol station forecourt. Before lockdown, he’d hosted a successful electronic club night at the Grand Social in Dublin and was part of an up-and-coming scene of DJs and producers around the capital. Then it all shut down, and Griffiths, who’d DJed since 16, didn’t know what to do.
“It was very, very hard. During Covid I had to work in a suit shop. It was the first time I had to do a normal job in my life. That was two years ago. Covid have made me appreciate all the moments that have happened so much more. I realise how quickly it can be taken away from you.” Griffith is in Ibiza with his production and DJ partner Conor Bissett. They were at the Amnesia nightclub the previous night, where superstar DJ Sonny Fodera brought them on stage to wild applause.
