Big 69th birthday shout out to Susan Ballion from Southwark, UK. I bet she got up to all sorts of trouble back in the day, bless her.
I was contacted last night by Bruce Haley, the man behind the iconic imagery used for 'Goth Box', a compilation album that much of the goth scene will be familiar with.
I'll be posting his words later, once I've had a cuppa and taken care of a phone call 😉
A little piece of history; an in-depth interview with our co-founder from 2013 that answers all the questions you might have had, not least why WGD is on the 22nd of May.
Please do check this out. It's an important collection of words, more so than ever.
Not everybody remembers that All About Eve once had a drum machine phase, but it was equally as awesome a time as when they first broke the charts.

Of all the World Goth Day questions I get asked, the most asked is "why May 22nd?"
Thankfully I had a dig around & found this interview with The Blogging Goth from 2013 which explains all.
(Yes, I went under a different DJ name back then, which is another story.)

This is an edited version of a piece about how the goth scene should reinforce its reputation as a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community & all women, that I originally wrote for the Leeds Gothica event. But I feel it bears further reach.
