Ladies and Gentlemen...
Doctor Drake's Ltd is announcing, with a downcast, positive and progressive attitude that, as of Tuesday the 25th of January we will cease to trade!
This has been nothing but the hardest decision, but one arrived at through a want to necessitate change and development.

There are many many reasons for us arriving at this place and wish it were feasible for individual discourse with all that have questions. Our energy levels, doctors and psychiatrists however have suggested otherwise. So trust in the fact that we (all) at Drake's, will continue the pursuit of what we believe in. There is no wall, door, roof or room that will ever contain, curtail or prevent creative expression!!!

Thank you all, bless you all and never say that it can't be done!!!!!!

All of us

this is extremely sad news and a decision i'm sure that wasnt taken lightly. in light of all the new places that have sprung up in the last couple of years offering live music, it was inevitable that there was gonna eventually be a casualty. its just a bloody shame because it was the citys most accomodating and truly alternative venue. thanks for memories.

also i'd like to wish jim, sharon, bri and the rest of the team good luck for the future, apologies for being far too drunk when DJ'ing, letting me put of some spectaculary successful and unsuccessful gigs on as well as some fine gigs some of which i actually remember!

Cheers Mr Del. It was always a pleasure and never a chair/stool! We loved trying to suss what had been in yer kebab by the bits in yer beard.

But seriously, thank you

What about the gigs after the 25th? Are they just cancelled then?

[scottST]

we were meant to be playing the audio dropouts on 25th feb

was really looking forward to playing there again.

*sigh*

[Rachie]

So they're just cancelled then?

Are Fudgenights gonna be in Moshulu?

I feel a bit lost!

Oh well, I'm just grateful for getting the chance to play there a couple of times with Deadloss MF Superstar. A sad day for live music in Aberdeen, and the UK methinks.

[Jim Stax]

Our sincere apologies for not being able to inform all that were booked through ourselves or another. Time is always an enemy and we are working through a very long list. Sorry

holy shit?! no drakes?!!! that's not good!!!

there are no other small venues in aberdeen with such a cool atmosphere!!

i'd say it's (was) my favouroite place to play....

shit!

[Dizzy Storm]

aargh this is real now isnt it....hmm..where do i start....apart from a bit of this....

seriously...its a totally gutting situation, but it had to happen....but onwards and upwards as they say.....you're not getting rid of us that easily!! hehe!

cant begin just now (its late! but i probably will tomorrow!) to say thanks to everyone who has been involved over the past nearly 3 years in bringing quality music to our wee room - its been amazing...

i should sleep now though!
