Graeme, I think you should supply me with Peanut Butter M&Ms when I attend your gigs.

I can honestly say I tried shooshing a few people at gigs (in the deen), and lo and behold, it causes aggro.

I think people who use the excuse "I paid for my ticket, I can do what I want" should have a pint poured over them...I paid for my ticket, I should get to do what I want!....

(aggro?!....don't be daft!)

James Yorkstone was close to a perfect gig in the lemon tree....bar one gaiping goon at the back, sitting next to me. After 5 attempts to plead "can you be quiet please?" I kicked his chair, told him to STFU and had to move for he started talking louder (a grown man!)

Sorry about that, Phil. I was bang out of order.

Only kidding, of course!

With regards to the Mogwai gig, two points/questions:

1. This was Mogwai, right? The noisy, loud, punishing Mogwai? How loud did that guy have to talk to distract them over the noise they were making?

2. It was Bruce McComski, wasn't it? At least that's what I remember being told. And if this was the case, I forgive him.

I got a reply from Stuart with his agent contact details who said "They're not looking to do anything there at the moment "

We're patient though! We've waited this long!

It was pretty obvious from the second we started that very few people in the crowd were particularly interested in hearing us and most were having loud conversations (including those in the front row) which made it very hard for us to hear what we were doing. We are not that precious about how audiences react when we play as is suggested above but this night was probably in the top 3 worst concerts we have ever played and this was largely due to the crowd (the security were terrible too which just added to the general crapness of the night). To explain why we haven't been back is simple, when we finish a record and plan our tours we decide what countries we are going to and then remember which ones we enjoyed playing and then move on with organizing the dates. Since the last time we played Aberdeen was far from fun (though i'm sure lots of people wouldn't think that our gigs are that fun anyway) we have not played there since. Aberdeen isn't the only place that we have missed out due to bad shows, we skipped Boston and the entire nation of Sweden for pretty long times for identical reasons and have since been back. I've always had a good time in Aberdeen except when playing and would like to come back with the band sometime Maybe if the next time a quiet band comes to Aberdeen and the audience are behaving atrociously you should ask the person next to you to be quiet and all of this might be prevented. I hope this reply isn't deemed too"petulant", i try to be nice.

all the best

Stuart Braithwaite

ps The m&m's were also the wrong colour incidentally.
ha, can't say fairer than that i suppose eh? i never expected a personal reply. good to have it explained and i can only hope you do come back to aberdeen sometime and that you have a much better time of it. you shouldn't let the idiots ruin the fun for the rest of us!
