Glasgow DJ Niamh Jobson’s Legacy and Fight Against Rare Bone Cancer

Niamh Jobson, a renowned Glasgow DJ, continued performing through extreme pain, defying the severe effects of osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer. Diagnosed at 15, Niamh worked for seven years while undergoing treatments including chemotherapy and leg amputation before passing away at 22. Her commitment to music was unwavering, and she played in iconic venues like Sub Club, as well as festivals like Kelburn Garden Party. Despite her health struggles, Niamh remained dedicated to her art, sharing, ‘if I don’t do it, that’ll be even worse.’ After her death in January, her family established the Niamh Jobson Research Fund to support research into osteosarcoma, aiming to improve treatment for young people suffering from the disease. The family aims to raise awareness and funding to change the course of treatment for this aggressive cancer, which has seen little advancement in decades. In honor of Niamh, they will launch the fund with a music event at SWG3 in Glasgow. A track called ‘Niamh’s Song’ by Sub Club DJ Domenic Cappello, made in her honor, captures the spirit of the DJ’s music. The family also commemorates her life with monthly ‘Niamh Day’ events, focusing on celebrating her spirit and legacy.
