Good een.

Calm yourself man. Unfortunate circumstances as cloud pointed out

Spot on!

It's confirmed, I'm looking forward to it, and to be honest the Tunnels 2 seems a better venue for Jonah that Cafe Drummonds. So haud yer weesht, cos it's gonna be great!

Well said, Drummonds would've been annoying.

He's playing in Glasgow for free the day after this gig. I may go to both.

He's now got a venue sorted (and arguably a better venue than the original choice, though it's a matter of debate) and is going to have tickets on sale as soon as possible. It's not an ideal situation, but given Jonah's reputation and the quality of the supports, it should be a decent gig regardless. Sure, it could be better, but who will really know until the gig happens?

As for not getting any promotion done, RFR is hardly the blinding experts at getting promotion done - in fact, how long did it take to update certain myspaces? I seem to remeber the Gigs in Aberdeen myspace being empty at one point, with references on the Moshulu one to club nights that had ceased. I've also seen plenty of gigs where there's been barely any posters up for whatever reason, with a £5 ticket price for some shit band and two supports who are only playing because they sell tickets as RFR can't be arsed to promote the gig. Sure, RFR have managed to pull out some big things, but haven't you also had some utter disasters in the past? I won't mention names, but you can hardly say that you've got a stellar record, can you?

For Ross to manage to pull out Jonah for a fiver plus four supports was a good bit of business, something that perhaps RFR aren't the best at given their slide into administration. For that, it might be wise to not throw stones when stood in a glass house in future.

Good luck with the Jonah gig to everyone involved with No Promotions.

dont you live in essex??

Am I the only person who particularly enjoyed the reference to granny porn in this post?

tbh i rarely agree with jamesy and i dinna like admitting it either, but that is spot on

i never realised it was actually ross that made the site. he turns up to all of these rfr gigs and kisses jamesys arse, yet he has no spine and jumps onto myspace to take mulitple pot shots at rfr.

its also not a particularly good way to represent NO PROMOTIONS LOLZ! the granite city guide (who rfr advertise/support etc) or mighty duck or whatever else he has changed his name to this week. making enemies/an arse of yourself is hardly going to do you any good whatsoever.

I don't think that was substantiated. He was one of the suspects though
