Today is World Goth Day!

According to the latest newsletter from Kerrang Radio today is World Goth Day something I wasn't aware of and decided well it might just be both a bit of fun to look it up and take part. According to Google:

This international holiday was created in the United Kingdom in 2009. During a week in May, presenters at BBC Radio 6 were looking into different music subcultures on each day. On May 22nd they were playing Goth music, and DJs Cruel Britannia and Martin Oldgoth decided to unofficially declare it Goth Day.

World Goth Day is observed on 22 May. The Official World Goth Day site defines it as "a day where the goth scene gets to celebrate its own being, and an opportunity to make its presence known to the rest of the world."

So now  I know!

Although I'm not a Goth I do wear sometimes wear clothes aimed at that market and do have more than a few records and CDs which fit in that genre. I've seen The Sisters of Mercy and Siouxsie And The Banshees at the Royal Albert Hall and went to several Fields of the Nephelim gigs, and it is they who provide a track to help celebrate the day!
