Cheers for the constructive feedback - always good to get opinions.

I think we are aware of both the capabilities and restrictions of MUSA as a venue and this will be taken into account for the type of artists we try to book for there......

Thomas in the kitchen was great though eh............

I thoroughly enjoyed myself, the only downside being the heat and the thirst! Impossible to get drunk in that place. Probably a good thing actually....

Alan Cynic, Aberdeen's king of self-deprecation, played a solid set. Enjoyed the Culter cover "Beautiful Cosmos". Such a strange vocal in that song. Ooh, and I know the origin of the word Bedlam now, educational too!

Truax - genius. More of an act than a gig if you know what I mean? Wouldn't rush out to buy his CD but to see him in full flow was tremendous. His banter and improvisation was fantastic. for some reason I was imagining an episode of Quantum Leap where Sam jumps into his body while his face was in the hornicator. Now that would be an "Oh boy!" I hope people are familiar with that show or i'm talking shite. Yep, stop typing.

I enjoyed the venue, Kitchen Cynics and Thomas Truax greatly.

Great choice of drinks although a tad expensive.

I was scared I was going to break a painting though.

Downer on the night, had to leave for the last bus at 11...cept the bus didnt come and I had to waste money on a taxi, I was very annoyed as I could have stayed for the end after all that...

cheers to Interesting Music Promotions for another great event!

The diners in front of the stage were amusing. They seemed to enjoy Alan & decided to hang around for the main act. After all, if the support is that good, what's the headliner going to be like? When he started off with the hornicator their expressions and body language were priceless.

It was funny watching the looking round as if thinking "these people paid to watch this - odd they look kinda normal". They seemed to get into it though, looking much more relaxed before the reappearance of the hornicator scared them of. As Thomas said, they don't seem to like hornication.

Excellent gig though. But very hot upstairs & the ventilation (obviously not aircon) was pretty loud there.

Yes and no. A couple of tables of people lingered, taking the opportunity of a free gig. A bit awkward for the staff & promoters, I imagine. Do you tell them to bugger off while they are drinking their coffee? Alan's set didn't hint at what was to come
