'Ello there!
Midian wants you, yes you!

 If you are a photographer, reviewer, radio DJ etc, then we need you. Midian is hosting an all day eXtra event  on 29th July in Liverpool. The focus of this is on cross-promotion of the wonderful array of talented folk that make up the UK goth scene, including artists, writers, promoters, bands, photographers, publishers, models, DJs, creators of fantastic clothing, accessories and acoutrements!

 We're looking for anyone interested in covering it in any way, to help showcase some of the fabulous people we're going to be featuring on the day. We can organise a day pass for people who register interest before the event. We can also provide links via our website to anyone officially taking part on the day. Please note, no requests for press/photography will be accepted on the day itself. Any requests for interviews to be made in advance. Press release available upon request. In exchange we ask is that any official photographers allow for us to potentially use copies of their pictures on our website (with full credits to them and links etc).

 We're also looking to promote as many events, nights, photographers, shows, artists, bands, websites, models, performers and businesses that fall under the 'goth' banner as we can. To this end we are actively encouraging people to send us in flyers, business cards, posters etc that we can display and put around at the event.

  Also,  if anyone would be willing to take some of our flyers to help promote the event, it'd be much appreciated. Again, please contact the e-mail below with a snail mail address and details of how many you can distribute.

 Any interested parties please contact myself in the first instance with details to:
sistercarrion[at]midian[dot]org[dot]uk

Just as a bit of advance notice, to start saving some pennies for the Midian eXtra 29th July. Here's a taster of some of the stallholders we'll be playing host to:

Anne Sudworth & Storm Constantine.  As well as signings/ appearances, they will be hosting stalls, at which you'll be able to purchase some of their work including books and prints. Storm will also have books available from Immanion Press

Xero Photography will be selling original prints, as well as displaying work.

Uninvited Guest will have a merch stand, at which you'll be able to purchase their scrummy CD as well as t-shirts and the like.

Heresy Clothing
Forever In Black
Morgana's Lair (Quiggins Liverpool)
Shameless Originals
Alienskin Clothing
AltFashion
Fangs, Fetish & Fantasy

I'm so looking forward to this...

Incidentely, we're on the look out for a couple of  reliable volunteers to model as part of one of the fashion shows. For the purposes of this particular requirement, we're after females who are between UK size 10-14, and would fit in size 24"-30" inch corsets. You'll gain free entry to the event, get to dress up in some gorgeous finery, and even have some professional photography shots taken whilst modelling the clothing. Any serious volunteers please contact myself in the first instance on: sistercarrion[at]midian[dot]org[dot]uk  ASAP
Please no timewasters as all prospective models will be working closely with the business concerned to help showcase their beautiful designs.

We're also after reliable bods who would be willing to do a spot on the front door duty on the day. This will be in the same room as all the action. If enough people help out, we should be able to ensure that each stint would only last an hour. This would just be to help out so that people on the door will be able to rotate breaks and get to see some of what's going on instead of getting a numb bum!

Cheers

'Lo all..
Just a quick confirmation of our upcoming dates for Midian. Luckily, given our recent upheaval of venue, we've not actually had to change much. So dates now read as follows:

FRIDAY 26th May (w/ guest DJ X51)

SATURDAY 1st July- This is a change to the advertised (14th July) date, and is the nearest date we could get to the last Friday of the month. Again there will be NO date in June.

SATURDAY 29th July is our Midian eXtra all day event. W00t and other such exclamations of joy :)

Please note last orders at the Casa are 1.30am. However, the venue stays open until 2.15am. The front bar is also open for pre-club drinkies.

As usual, any and all help is much appreciated, and can be rewarded by free entry :)
