Is anyone else going to see them in Forres this weekend?

Seems a weird place to be playing.

Looking forward to it though!

Nope. One of the worst bands I've ever had the misfortune to hear

[Jammer]

To be a pedant...it's not really Forres, The Loft is on a farm midway between Forres and Elgin (which to be fair is probably weirder).

And there's been a few decent bands playing there including Drunken Public (Levellers), Hayseed Dixie, Delays...and comedian Jason Byrne to name but 4...but it shows that Ash are not exactly in the ascendancy of their career.

Good wee venue though

They're doing an A-Z alphabetical tour and this one is E for East Grange, Forres, Quite a neat idea

That's clutching at straws (farm ha ha). The venue is called The Loft and is in East Grange and technically listed under Kinloss but ...would Edinburgh not have been a more obvious choice (in Scotland anyway) or even Elgin

Where's your imagination? I wonder what X is?

I think it's a pretty cool idea.

They're playing Falkirk for F, obviously, and the pub they're playing is pretty nice.

It's better than just playing Edinburgh for E, Inverness for I etc etc.

I have no objection to anyone playing the Loft, indeed the more the merrier. It's a great wee venue as is The Warehouse in Lossiemouth and for acoustic sets The Red Shoes in Elgin.
