i know its not a personal assult on anyone but i just wanted to add that its bloody hard puting on gigs and getting people to actually attend... as i well know, no matter how much you advertise....and i know how much work Brian did for this gig and for all his july Fudge gigs - great posters all over town and constant posting on this site....and the fanzine...he was up endless nights writing it and getting it ready in time....so what else can/could he do?
a mix of bands like last night is what Fudge is about really (hence the word 'Fudge'...get it?!) and a mix like that is supposed to bring in 3/4/5 different crowds of people which *should* equal busy gig! yes i think the bands should try harder to get folk along but everyone is gigging so much these days that they stop trying/your friends stop coming to your gigs because they've seen you 3 times in 2 weeks already....
i think Fudge is just suffering like everyone else in this business of running a venue/puting on gigs....its a bit bleak at the moment...
