I really like the Moorings for drinking but I've yet to experience a live gig there yet - by the sounds of the jukebox though it'll be blinding

Drakes is very good for intimacy and generally playing an ace show but my favourite show i've played so far was in café drummonds, not perticularly good sound on the night but the crowd weren't scared to move at all, and in drakes ther's a tendency for people to just stand and nod. It's nice to see a wee pit for your own band. But overall i'd still say drakes is the venue to play.

I agree with the thing about Drakes but then often I'd feel bad about leaping about in Drakes as there's always the chance of you being the cunt that spills someone's pint as has happened to me before (without replacement I might sulkily add) or generally crash into people

It's been ages since I went to the Malt Mill but the sound was good when I was there. Lemon Tree's a bit expensive for me to go there regularly but they pull really good bands every so often that make it well worth that little bit extra in drink expenditure - Amen, Eighties Matchbox, Queen Adreena, DJ Format, Misfits, OMS, Idlewild, DJ Vadim & The Russian Percussion, The Wildhearts and the list goes on!

That's because you played a Foyer night where you had Foyer engineers, not Drummonds engineers.


I still remember having to clear the stage of fucking onions the next day.
