It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch. We would appreciate some privacy at this time. There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, “Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.”

It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.

I have seen so many posts in various groups recently along the lines of, 'we need a Goth Festival in Whitby at a different time of year, without the "fancy dress and cosplayers".'

That's exactly what I'm trying to do with Monolith:The Longest Day!

In summer, not school holidays so cheaper accom, nothing else happening. 3 bands and a club night so far. Hopefully with more to announce as I put things together.
So it is happening!
I may not be your cup of tea personally, my style may not be up your strasse, but something is being done.
It needs your support to make it work.
If someone else has something better planned then I wish you all the best and I'll support it where possible (and if wanted).
But for now, let's channel all that energy into making something happen and get behind making Whitby the new Whitby!
