Due to a great response in Aberdeen, the event will now be held at The Tunnels seeing the best band straight to the Scottish Final @ Carling Academy, Glasgow.

We look forward to a crackin' event checking out the local talent this year in Aberdeen.

There is still time to enrol your band: closing date for entry 28th February.

Where was it scheduled to be before this great response?

[Emergenza]

I think you have misread this. This does not mean there was another venue scheduled, only that we are confirming the venue as The Tunnels and due to the response from Aberdeen the bands do not have to play in the Dundee Final but will instead, go straight to the Scottish Final.

[soundian]

Nope, that's what you said.
"Due to a great response in Aberdeen, the event will now be held at The Tunnels"

What you meant was
"The event will be held at the tunnels and, due to a great response in Aberdeen, the winner now goes straight to the Scottish Final @ Carling Academy, Glasgow.(instead of a regional final in Dundee)"

Just what the world needs, another pay to play battle of the bands!

OK Soundian, well put. At the end of the day the point being the event is at Tunnels, band straight to Carling...all good!

Chris, these points have been covered on another post (in trading?) Please refer to this and hopefully this will answer your concerns.

har!

you just cant say anything anymore without being shouted at..

at the end of the day you are still paying money to get a gig

you are still being asked to sell tickets in order to get paid

[Emergenza]

No, actually you are paying money to enrol with a company and this is a one-off fee for life. This is to avoid time-wasters. All bands that turn up to their first gig receive Ernie Ball string for bass and guitar, Regal Tip sticks and a Remo drum skin. They also have full use of our website as a promotional tool to plug gigs and play MP3s on our radio show. Enrolment also means they are offered guest slots across the world. For example, Hot Mangu (Aberdeen) recently played Edinburgh with us, Kobai (E.Kilbride) are going on a 6-date tour of Gemany this month and Secrets We've Told (Dundee) recently played 3 dates in New York. Not band for a one-off enrolment fee, eh?

As for selling tickets in order to get paid. What do you want us to do? Put on a free gig, charge nothing, sell no tickets and pay all the bands? With what? Shirt buttons and confidence? lol

No, you as the promoter sell the tickets. Do your job and you get paid accordingly. The bands play the music, do their job and get paid accordingly.

Currently you're asking the bands to do your job, their job AND pay for the privilege
