11.How much are you willing to pay to watch local bands in Aberdeen?

Anything more is pushing it unless it's an all-day event.

12. How much are you willing to pay to watch a touring band in Aberdeen?

*It would depend (if this, please specify what factors it would depend on)

the success of the band prior to their gig, are they worth spending a decent wedge to go and see.

*Line-ups were bands are from a similar genre

14. Which genre (s) of music are you most likely to go see live?

Rock, indie, always happy to make exceptions for particular bands though.

15. Is there anything which could make live music a more enjoyable experience for you?

Not feeling like I just walked into a private party uninvited when I attend a gig on my own.

16. What would you like to see more of in Aberdeen regarding live music?

Apparently I never go to gigs (over-exaggeration by those who attend gigs non-stop) I guess better exposure to non-alternative music, there seems to be a lack of bands from genres such as dance, hip-hop and folk to name but three. Maybe due to lack of actual bands, but still.

17. Anything else you would like to add?

The man across the road from me is building a wall, it is made of grey bricks.

I think she means too many gigs aimed at audiences such as punk fans and she would like more bands which do not play punk.

Note: punk was used as an example.
