Mickel Mass played outside the Tunnels in March...it was a heap of fun!

How about...the Belmont Club, a random church hall (St Mark's, near the Theatre??) (I liked the IMP one at Queen's Cross Church). Or maybe in the Belmont Cinema (but in one of the actual Screen rooms, instead of the bar), Cowdray Hall, the Winter Gardens at the Duthie Park, Stonehaven Swimming Pool, the old dancehall underneath the now closed Fopp, downstairs at the Masada Bar (used to be called the Continental Lounge)??????

If Chilli, Graeme & Offramp are poledancing it would add a certain something to the night (God knows how to describe it though!)

The bandstand in the Duthie Park.
The Fishmarket since they land very little fish these days.

The Continental Lounge (under the Masada) used to be a cosy wee place....I was a regular years ago when they had jazz nights with Hildie Grinstead (I think it was a Wednesday night). I haven't been in it since it was 'done-up' though, so I can't vouch for the current atmosphere. I think it gets used for private functions mostly ( and covers bands).

It certainly used to have an atmosphere which would have suited IMP gigs.

The dancehall under Fopp is owned by the same guy who leased the building to Fopp......it has a proper 'sprung' wooden dancefloor, and hasn't been used since the 1970s. If you look from Union Bridge (shut at the mo) you can see the building which housed it. I'd never hesard of it until recently...Steve (IMP regular and Fopp ass.t manager filmed some scenes there for his film which was going to be shown at the Lemon Tree a few months ago, ...Mickel Mass and Prof LoFi etc played, but for some reaon the film didn't get projected, despit working fine at the soundcheck).
