£15 is costly considering what the sound engineer has to do but it was a small fee considering what we got and we were more than happy with it.

thats what that money was used for. wouldnt be able to do half of the stuff we have done if it werent for that money. bringing great international bands/acts to aberdeen for £3/4 a gig

£7/8 to see lightning bolt in aberdeen???? hmmmmmm

you would never have a problem with that though. just stick on a support band that pulls a crowd eh? doesnt matter if we dont like em eh? who gives a fuck if the touring act sell nae cds and play to people with little interest in their music?

pa system is a pretty handy purchase too.

bwah hahahahaha. keep trying cloud, im sure you can do better than that?

at least im doing something rather than spectating

is that what the business angle is?? from the sidelines??

[Emergenza]

Can I point out (just in case) that Emergenza did not charge £15 for the CD recording. It was the sound company at the venue who charged this. We hire in a private company who organise this with all bands who play using their sound equipment. Emergenza did not profit from any CD sales and this is not something we necessarily agree with either.
