==No Music Day 2005–09==

==No Music Day 2005–09==

While No Music Day is on November 21 every year it was most actively called attention to by Bill Drummond and various organisations from 2005 to 2009 (Drummond called it a five-year plan<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nomusicday.com/ |title=No Music Day |publisher=Nomusicday.com |date= |accessdate=2015-07-01}}</ref>).

While No Music Day is on November 21 every year it was most actively called attention to by Bill Drummond and various organisations from 2005 to 2009 (Drummond called it a five-year plan<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nomusicday.com/ |title=No Music Day |publisher=Nomusicday.com |date= |accessdate=2015-07-01}}</ref>).

It was launched in 2005 with a billboard poster at the entrance to the Mersey Tunnel, Liverpool. In 2006, the arts based radio station [[Resonance FM|Resonance 104fm]] broadcast no music, as did [[BBC Radio Scotland]] in 2007. No Music Day was promoted in São Paulo, Brazil in 2008, although Drummond has stated that despite graffiti announcing the day, his efforts to apprehend buskers and to encourage music shops to close, he doubted that "there was even a fraction less music consumed in Brazil on the 21 November 2008 compared to any other day."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.penkilnburn.com/events/events.php?event_type=Observance&year=% |title=Events % |publisher=Penkilnburn.com |date= |accessdate=2015-07-01 |archive-date=March 3, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303235702/http://www.penkilnburn.com/events/events.php?event_type=Observance&year=% |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In turn, in 2009 the City of Linz, Austria quite comprehensively observed No Music Day with the backing of the mayor and the ''Hörstadt'' ("Acoustic City") initiative. Shops, restaurants, schools and radio stations in Linz played no music, the cinemas showed only films without music soundtracks and theatres and concert halls held only non-musical performances.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nomusicday.com/events/2009 |title=Events - 2009 |publisher=Nomusicday.com |date=2009-11-21 |accessdate=2015-07-01}}</ref>
