Welcome to

Feeling Gloomy

The home of sad songs that make you happy.

About

It was 2005 when Cliff and his un-merry band of tricksters got together to embrace all things miserable and melancholic.

Since then, they’ve been around the world, at loads of festivals and at their mum’s every Sunday for dinner. 

So come join the party, you’ll have a bawl!
