I like this idea. To celebrate the memory of the massively influential BBC radio host John Peel, who died last year, people are encouraged to put on their own gig of some sort:
The very first John Peel Day will take place on Thursday October 13th. The day will be a celebration of John’s life and massive contribution to music and broadcasting with as many venues as possible staging gigs across the UK under the banner of Peel Day.
Maybe Gordon and the Salty Hams will reform for John Peel Day. That and a drum and cymbal parade around the living room surely are in order.
Update: On a somewhat unrelated note, if you have broadband, check out Hayseed Dixie on BBC Player. That is why the internet was created.
