Default Independent retailers/cafes/etc.

Hello,

I'm currently researching a project and I need some help. Basically, I require information for all the independent shops, cafes, pubs, venues, retailers, promoters etc in Aberdeen that would be of interest of and use to the student and general population, ie

The Moorings Bar
The Beautiful Mountain
Retrospect
Good For Nothing? Collective
Tunnels
etc.

If you could reply in this thread with the name, email/website/myspace, phone number and a wee description of each, that would be great.

Why not put a list of 10 which you have found yourself up for us all to reference at a later date just to prove that you aren't asking because you are lazy

for the purpose of this thread


interesting music promotions

www.myspace.com/interestingmusic

imp are independent promoters bringing quality underground and eclectic music to venues in and around Aberdeen. We promote sometimes exclusive Scottish shows and artists who usually only come as far North as Glasgow / Edinburgh, whilst at the same time showcasing the more interesting and leftfield musicians lurking around the depths of the local scene.
