So, having skimmed a variety of recent LJ posts on the subject...

Today's question: Is the UK goth scene broken? And, if so, just what changes d'you think would be needed to fix it?

Yes, I know this is a can of worms. But I'm curious to see what people think. This is mostly sparked by Uncle Nem's excellent Leipzig piece and the LJ comments it triggered.

(Now that you've lured him to Leipzig, can we drag him to M'era Luna next year, chimera_s? I'd quite like to see a similar write-up on that, a very different kind of German festival...).

Kidnapping ????

Well we can but try - however i have my doubts weither we can succeed. Mera Luna has so many fewer bands the odds of finding stuff he might be prepared to go to Germany for is somewhat reduced - the bands being the more mainstream (if that phrase can be used) within the scene and also there is the dreaded 'C' word which does put a number of people off - but you never know if there is a one off show by someone who is not coming to the uk we might have a chance.
