    this weekend! AMALGAMATION FESTIVAL 2009
    Amalgamation Festival 2009 - Latest News - 15.11.2009

    Amalgamation is to take place in Leeds on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st November, and features eleven great industrial punk acts.

    Line-Up Changes:
    There have been further changes to the line-up for this years event - the Mekano Set have had to withdraw from the event, so their slot on Saturday will be taken by local act The Volatile Gentlemen. Skinflick have also had to withdraw, and we are currently in talks to try and secure a top class replacement. Watch this space!

    Venue Change:
    The venue for the Saturday at Amalgamation has changed to The Subculture, Merrion Street, Leeds. Doors open at 1.30pm and the event will end at 10.30pm.

    The itinery for the 2009 Amalgamation Festival is as follows:
    Friday 20th November - Santiagos, 1-3 Grand Arcade, Leeds
    Action Directe, Imprint, Death by Electro Giants
    DJs: GothVodka (Bad Moon Rising/Friday Flock) & Kev36663 (The Charnel House/Floorshow)
    Doors: 8pm
    Entrance by weekend ticket or £3 on the door

    Saturday 21st November - The Subculture, Merrion Street, Leeds (NOTE CHANGE OF VENUE)
    Attrition, Xykogen, Systemyk, Flesh Eating Foundation , Digicore, The Ladder, The Volatile Gentlemen + 1 more t.b.c
    DJ: AntiAndy
    Doors: 1.30pm
    Entrance by weekend ticket or £15 on the door

    Due to Saturday being an alldayer, it is £15 on the door for the Saturday, so getting an advance ticket effectively gets you into Friday for free. If for some reason you only want to attend Friday night's revellries, it will be £3 on the door with prepaid weekend tickets having priority. Our advice for anyone who hasn't yet purchased a weekend tickets yet is to snap them up for £15 each here!

    pink nostalgia???


    BERITH NEWS: The woman wearing pink knee high sock/boots& whte bag who was seen by Andreu leaving the scene w/a stuffed bag was seen in NOSTALGIA hours before. WERE YOU IN NOSTALGIA AND DO YOU REMEMBER / KNOW HER? Pink in Nostalgia must have been pretty easy to spot.

    Photobucket

    Armed with my camera, a corset or two, made my way across the Yorkshire moors, to one of my favourite towns here in England for WGW. Arrived late Saturday which blew out all photography plans (thanks National Express trains for making me miss all my connections). A beautiful clear day, so joined up with DaveFish and Dot for engagement celebrations, then off to dinner with the rest of the gang, before I knew it I was being escorted home, after ending up on the Little A. (Thanks Mike) Sunday was truly awful weather. Tried to do a set in the old alleyway while waiting for Sherlocks to open, got a few shots but it was fooking freezing. Then Sherlocks opened up and with the permission of the owner and with Davefish fancy lens, was allowed to play for a bit in this stunning location. Wonderful to see everyone and hopefully Charles and I will be back for April.

    Huge thanks to all who put up with me and the Yorkshire winter weather. A couple of my favourites so far.

    Berith Appeal
    To the person that found BERITH,

    I am appealing to you and want to let you know how much that little bear means to us.He has no monetary value but is priceless to us. It isn't just a teddy but a very important part of our little bizarre family composed by cats & teddy bears.

    Berith is one of the few constant sources of confort and tenderness we have and, as a person who tends to be ill a lot & is cronically depressed , I personally am finding it really hard to cope without him, especially as I have had quite a difficult year so far. He goes everywhere with us, clubs, pubs, outings, holidays...

    I just beg you to send him back. Contact or send him to the Whitby Gazette. We offer a wee £50 reward,and no questions asked, too. Please send him back home. We miss him terribly. Thanks!

    Faith & Andreu

    Gothwatch UK
    Were you at Whitby in October 2006? Did you have a close encounter with some military types? Are you the sort of Goth who loses things on beaches? Gothwatch UK needs your help...

    I noticed this story in the Whitby gazette where a camera was found on the beach which contained a memory card. The paper are hoping someone will claim the card and published this picture to help you:



    Do you know who these recruits are? I have my theories ;@)

    Current Mood: curious

    FIND BERITH. TEDDY BEAR MISSING. PLEASE HELP.
    As some of you may know, Sunday after the 80'S night we went to the Resolution and werre having a great time until I realised Berith, one of our beloved little teddy beras had ben shamelessly stolen from us. He & Charlotte & Franky (new addition to the flock) had been partying and dancing on a wee table by the pool table and when we went to pick them up BERITH was gone.

    The staff says they saw the bears actually on the snooker table which means the 3 local men who were playing pool had moved them & put all but Berith back where they had been all night. ANDREU now remembers a GIRL WITH KNEE HIGH SOCKS & PINK BOOTS/SHOES WITH A TOO FULL WHITE BAG leving the scene.

    I trust you know how important the little ones are for us. Berith is very loved and has been with us in many adventures, has his own myspace page & sleeps with us all the time.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE If you see him or taht woman, let us know. We want to put a reward even. It is very important. I hope you all understand.

    This is not a joke. We miss him terribly. He adopted us on the 14th of February 2007, the day I got my UK residence & we all went to celebrate at Mestizo & then the Devonshire Arms in Camden. He has been everywhere with us as some of you may have noticed. I am not joking. We are devastated.

    Please help us find him:(

    An amazing result for the charity
    This Whitby the stall made £506.74 for the Charity, with an extra £61.41 in the charity collection box.
    That is phenomenal, so a HUGE thank you to all who brought clothes to sell and who bought clothes.
    We HOPE to be in the Resolution again in April, but as yet this is not confirmed, so keep an eye out on our webpage and here for further information.
    We hope to see you all in April!

    P.S. If someone bought some lace up size 6 boots and finds themself with 2 boots for the same foot please contact us as the stall would love to swap you for the correct boot!

    Whitby: October 2009My photos from the weekend - rather less than usual, perhaps - can be found by clicking on the picture to the left. No football, this time, obviously, thanks to the atrocious weather on Sunday washing it out. Real Gothic will be back in April for another attempt at winning back the trophy.

    Capacity Issues
    No, not the venues, the town.
    The sheer weight of numbers on the swingbridge on Saturday afternoon stopped traffic. It also stopped me from going over to the old town because I really didn't fancy being crushed.

    Is this a phenomenon of the number of goths comming to town for 'unofficial Whitby' - i.e. not attending the main ticketed events; a result of the photo frenzy or just a coincidence of local school holidays and fair weather (on Saturday at least)?

    Is there a point where someone declares the town 'full'? Will we have to have wristbands to enter Whitby?

    I'm interested in other people's experience of the crowds this weekend, and whether they affected your plans for this or future Whitby Weekends.

    incorrect printed information in the Almanack ?
    I can't understand why the entry in the (very useful and nicely precented) Whitby weekend Almanack listing the Darklands night upstairs at the Resolution of Friday 30th had www.darkdaisypromotions.co.uk written beneath. To my knowledge this well-established night/event has no connection whatsoever with darkdaisy and I am concerned that people are, unless anyone is able to correct me on this, being misinformed. In these latest times of rumour and cut-throat competition I would like the record set straight please, if there is anyone who is able and qualified to comment on this printed attribution.

    TIcket emergency!
    A friend of ours arrived from aboard (The Neths) and wishes to accompany us to Whitby Gothic. But, the ticket sale is closed! This is on ridiculously short notice, but if someone cancelled, has an extra ticket etc, I'd need to know!

    Thx.
