Default Majnun US would like to play Aberdeen. Can you help?
We are an American rootsy/blues/rock band called Majnun. We can be heard at Majnunband.com. We are invited to play a gig at the Findhorn Foundation(somewhere near Inverness) in May or June, but we'll need some other local gigs to make it financially feasible (we're 8/9 people). Does anybody have any recommendations? We already received a polite and clear refusal from the Lemon Tree. Any bookers out there? Any bands out there who would be interested in playing with us somewhere?

We do have a good friend in Scotland who would do a lot of the footwork for us.

Thanks everybody for your help.

Maybe one of them knows that Findhorn is backofbeyondsville and so isn't sure. I've only been there once. It was late summer and it was chucking down fucking hailstones. 'Twas a fun day out for all the family!

We might struggle to fit more than 6 people on the stage. Please enlarge on the 8-9 people bit.
