I suppose as a promoter, instead of paying locals well, we could screw them like other promoters & venues & instead pay Aberdeen music the going rate to become a sponsor???

All I am asking for is a reduction to become a sponsor, afterall I send weblinks to here all over the planet to bands (e.g Caribou, jason ringenberg etc ) showing what folk thought of their shows.

dude its like what a tenner a month?
Hardly bank breaking is it?

Anyway i think the radio thing is a great idea i think its something the "scene" has been missing since the days of DDG and the earlier Aberdeen Music radio, i really believe something like this could help improve attendances at gigs as you find most people wont go to a gig cause, A) they havent heard of the band(s) or B) they havent heard what the band(s) sound like. Introducing something like this would give people the chance to have a listen before paying out money and may encourage more people to come down to the gigs.
