Stephen

Stephen Dowling has been DJing since 2012 and in this few short years he has excelled in his career. He joined The George in 2014 shortly after The Dragon Bar had closed down. You can see him play in The George every Monday after Win, Lose or Drag and or when one of the other DJs are skiving off on holidays. He plays pop/chart and gives you the greatest night possible.

Rocky

Rocky has been a DJ on the scene for what (as he says) feels like a thousand years, though he is yet to win any awards (hint hint GALAS!). Rocky is famed for his alternative sound and is a big fan of uploading his own mixes onto his mix cloud account which has a large following.

Rocky is unlike other DJ’s due to his unique sets which include modern remixes of 70’s to 00’s hits. Rocky is well known on the scene with DJ sets in Mother and Sunday Social as well as his set every Wednesday here at the George.

Mo

Born in a land far, far away reared by jungle cats. Mo got her first decks from a zebra whose DJ career failed when he discovered he couldn’t beatmatch, oh and also because her surrogate father ate him. Mo has played in venues such as The George, The Academy, The Kremlin (Belfast)….and anywhere there’s a party. Far from the jungle you say? Not really….when you think about it!

Mo is one of our resident DJ’s and plays at Glitterbomb every Friday from midnight onwards.

DJ Karen

DJ Karen has worked on the DJ circuit for the last 3 decades. No mean feat in an island that has seen musical styles and venues change over the years. She started working in The George in late 1994 and thankfully is still here!

You can now find Karen in The George on Tuesdays and Sundays playing a selection of dance tunes and genres from dance remixes of pop tunes, funky house thru to pumping Electro house. Before you know what’s happening you’re standing in the middle of the dance floor shaking your tush and discovering dance moves you never knew you had. There’s no mistake who is in control of the room!

Over the years she has played a number of Dublin’s top venues and festivals, playing to crowds of over 6,000 people. Karen is one of our resident DJ’s, check her out every Tuesday from 11.30pm and Sundays from 11pm.

Conor Behan

Conor is one of our resident DJ’s, and with his alter ego ‘Laura in the box’, happily helps co-host Win, Lose or Drag on Monday nights as well as Saturgays Karaoke, DJing into the early hours after both shows as well as on Thursdays.

Bunny

Our Northern Belle has the smallest waist in Northern Ireland (FACT). She also has a big heart and a love for all things glamorous. “Big hair, skinny waist, angry protestant” is exactly how Bunny describes herself but of course she is more than meets the eye! Bunny has been around for quite some time and is a favourite amongst regulars and new customers alike due to her love of performing ballads as well as show tune hits.

Bunny is famed for talents on a mic due to the comedic effect she delivers as well as her perfectly timed one-liners. She is well established on the LGBT scene but is also a seasoned performer amongst the burlesque and cabaret circuit in Ireland. Bunny can be seen in all her glory every Monday night here at the George as she co-hosts Win, Lose or Drag with Phil T Gorgeous.

Dolly

Ageless beauty, drag performer, Hostess and Busybody.

Drag Queen, Bar Maid, Hostess, Confidante and All-Round Grumpy Old Bint, our Dolly has been around for quiet *cough* some time. Due to her many, many years of doing drag she is well known and established on the LGBT+ scene.

Dolly was the resident drag queen of the late Dragon Bar, she has since been rehomed here at The George (while she waits for her pension to go through) and is now our Tuesday hostess with the Dolly Grip Experience. Love a show tune? So does our Dolly, she knows more about musicals and Broadway then, well, most gays! She is our yearly Eurovision hostess with the mostest !

Phil T Gorgeous

Mother, may I play with danger? Phil T comes with a warning ladies, it reads “dangerously Gorgeous!”

Drag king, gender illusionist, male impersonator, weirdo…. call him what you want but there’s no doubt that whatever he is, Phil T. Gorgeous is ALL man……. well….. Mostly. He first swaggered across the stage in early 2004 introducing unsuspecting audiences to his own brand of drag performance and whether entertaining in the intimate surroundings of a cozy cafe, or hosting to tens of thousands at Pride events, Phil has been happily raising eyebrows both nationally and internationally ever since.

Phil has been parading his own brand of gender bending hornfusion on the George’s stage since winning the first-ever Davina’s Apprentice in 2011. Since then he has been a regular miscreant addition to Davina’s thirsty Thursdays as well as hosting his own show on Monday nights with Bunny, Win Lose or Drag.
