[The Ghost Of Fudge]

Sooooo...

We arrived all keen to play our gig with Apes IQ, but the promoter hadn't told the barstaff there were bands playing and they were showing the Celtic match to a room of neds, someone turned up to collect their equipment from the previous night complaining some of it had been nicked, our Swedish chums Apes IQ were welcomed to Scotland with a playful headbutt, and a (previously amiable) drunken regular got our drummer Waz on the floor and tried to choke him to death for no reason whatsoever and then took a few swings at me when i pulled him off (i'm not really that hardcore, he was 63). He offered to shake hands a few minutes later, of course.

Avoid!

...On the plus side, Carlsberg is £1.30 a pint and the barstaff are nice enough.

incidentally, here are the dates for Apes IQ's Scottish tour:

Sat 28 - The Moorings (Fudgenight101)
Sun 29 - The Moorings (Open Mic)

you'll love them

near the Barras/13th note. it was quite a nice pub (bright, clean,etc), but the regular punters look like they wouldn't give a toss about punk rock bands... (cue stripey )

but there's nae point playing there if you're from up here. there was no promotion or anything.

I was indeed being rude and silly.

Sounds like an interesting night anyway and you got a good on the road story out of it.

Not true! It was mentioned in the News of the World gig guide.

Actually, that might have been the Edinburgh gig.
