From DJ Cruel Britannia's blog.... sounds like a cracking idea.... spread the word....

-----------

So it started off with a little post on the Whitby Goth Forum from a rep of the BBC. The post looked like this:

"...Hi!

BBC 6 Music is celebrating Goth Day on Friday 22nd May.

We're looking for people that might be interested in talking to Andrew Collins on his radio show.

If you think you are an interesting character and keep your goth roots close to you in your day-to-day life and regular job - we want to hear from you!

Preferably you're based in the South-East but please drop me a line if you're interested and tell me a bit about yourself.

Cheers!

Ellie Davis BBC 6 Music..."


Apart from a fairly entertaining programme called 'The G Word' some months ago on 6 Music by Andrew Collins, there was little to entice the people who browsed over the advertisement posted on the forum.

Something lacked some...integrity, something didn't smell quite right.

I wasn't sure if it was the reply when I emailed Ellie Davis which bore the signature "Ellie Davis | The George Lamb Show | BBC 6 Music"

Sorry. The George Lamb Show?

The same George Lamb that didn't happen to be Andrew Collins?

The same George Lamb whose very contribution to the BBC's music journalism department resulted in someone launching http://georgelambisacunt.blogspot.com ?

The feedback from the forum was...somewhat negative.

However, the idea of celebrating Goth Day on the 22nd May was one that stuck in my mind.

Why not? It's not as if the 22nd is booked up for anything else.
And Mothers Day, Father's Day and all those other events that are designed to flog greetings cards have been allocated a slot on the calendar.

And more importantly, is there any reason NOT to celebrate being a goth? Not that I see.

So even if I happen to be the only one who does this for the next few years I beleive it's worth a shot. Recent history shows that the internet is capable of spreading the word of one crazy shit to the whole world. So if I push it enough, maybe another one or two goths might join in.

Here's the deal; it's a bit like Red Nose Day, but without the charity bit, or the red nose. Or the celebrities.
Okay, it has bugger all to do with Red Nose Day at all.

The point is that for just one day, get your goth clothes out (then see if they still fit), and give them an airing for the day. If your spooky self is something you save for the weekend, well guess what? It's the weekend on the 22nd May. Give Dress Down Day at work a dressing up.

When you get home, sod the telly. Stick on a fat slab of goth for the evening and flounce round your living room to neighbour-aggressing levels of whatever floats your boat; Siouxsie, Bauhaus, The Sisters, Bloody Rammstein if you have to, but celebrate goth for all that it is; a way of life.

If you don't happen to be fortunate enough to be in work at the moment, here's something you can do to feel as if you've achieved something other than stay awake despite the raspy tones of David Dickinson.

Ring up Radio One and demand to hear anything by The Sisters Of Mercy.

No, hit up BBC 6 Music (they started it) and demand to hear anything by The Sisters Of Mercy.

Request that they play anything by them (well, probably nothing off the Vision Thing album actually). Then, get your friends to do the same. All of them, even the one's who aren't goth-it's all about numbers.


Finally, print the image below out and stick it everywhere you have space.



Yes, this is all loose, very cack-handed and unplanned but there's less than a week to go. And I can't plan anything to save my life. It might work. Word might get around. I might have to do this myself for ten years before someone catches on. I'd rather not though, so tell all your friends to celebrate Goth Day on the 22nd May and let's see what happens

... after alot of thought and hard decision making, i'm afraid that 'Nocturne' will stop being broadcast on Sunday 5th April 2009. My renewal to broadcast on Live365 is due and and unfortunately I won't be renewing it. This has been a really hard decision to make and hasn't been taken lightly. The main reasons for making this decision are the costs and the time needed to make Nocturne work. My situation at work has changed alot over the last 6 months both financially and personnally as in the work load I now have and I can't give the time to Nocturne that it deserves.

I would like to thank you all for your contribution over the past 3 years, whether as a listener, a band, friends old and new... because without you all, there wouldn't have been Nocturne. I shall keep the website going with my links page on and my myspace page to help spread the word for releases/tours etc.... you never know... if my situation at work improves/changes then Nocturne might re-appear in the future.... watch this space :o)

Love & hugs to you all

Lisa
