7. How much would you expect to pay for a magazine of this kind?
- £0-£1
- £2-£3
8. What would you like to see featured in the magazine?
- Interviews
- Reviews
- Gig Guides
- Other – features on venues, promoters and perhaps bands of yesterday.
9. What factors would influence you to buy the magazine?
- Free CDs

10. Have you gone to a gig in the past after reading a good review about a particular band? (If so, please give example)
I'd say I'd not heard more than half the bands I've seen prior to going to the gig, maybe more nowadays with the accessibility of myspace but there has been hundreds of bands I've seen based on a review, interview, a recommendation on a site like this or just the description on a flyer.
11. Will a magazine like this be beneficial to Aberdeen?
(To local people, bands, venues, promoters, record labels etc?)
I'd like to think so. The Granite City guide is just listings and not very readable (and thats certainly not a knock towards the GC guide as I do believe it serves a valid purpose), The Fly only covers one page of Aberdeen every 2 month and aside from The Lemon Tree and snafu's own magazines, Aberdeen is very neglected, even by the Evening Express in terms of music.
12. Will it help increase interest in the Aberdeen Music Industry?
As long as it was a good magazine I'm sure it would.
13. Would you say there is a lot of talent in Aberdeen just waiting to be found?
Yes.
14. And finally, which Aberdeen band would you tip as favourites to make it big?
