A New Chapter for an Historic Space

Situated on St Michael’s Street, The Handlebar boasts a wonderfully eclectic past. Originally established in 1834 as Maltby’s Bookbinders, its large first-floor windows were built to flood the artisan workshops with natural light. From bookbinding to bicycles, and now independent hospitality, we’re proud to add another chapter to its history with a heavy dose of electronic music.

What is EMOM?

EMOM is a relaxed, inclusive open-stage night where electronic musicians, producers, and sound artists of all levels can book a slot and share their work.

Expect everything from deep ambient and downtempo to techno, electro, experimental, and glitch. Laptops, synths, drum machines, modular rigs, samplers, and controllers are all welcome. (The only rule? No acoustic guitars unless they're being used to generate ambient soundscapes in keeping with the night).

Whether you’re performing, road-testing new material, or just discovering fresh music and meeting like-minded people,nEMOM is all about sharing ideas in a friendly, supportive space.
