Default Venue trouble/your basement?

Hi,

So we've got a gig booked for the 24th of September. We had the Tunnels provisionally booked up until a week ago when we were told we couldn't have it as it was freshers. So we're in a bit of a pickle.

So far we've tried:

Portals
Musa
Korova
Snafu
Drummonds
Tunnels
Cellar 35

We've still to try The Malt Mill and we got a maybe from Transition X (although it is pretty unlikely).

If anybody has or knows of a basement/practice space/house with nice neighbours around town where we could chuck a few bands on it would be GREATLY appreciated. We are more than willing to give you some money and stuff for your troubles.

We aren't just sitting back and waiting for something to come to us, and will be busting our humps over the next few days to find somewhere as well as there is a small number of avenues we haven't ventured down, however if nothing comes by Thursday/Friday time we will probably have to pull the plug on the gig.

Thanks very much, all suggestions/proposals are welcome.

Huw + Autumn Jams.

the bands playing (can be made a 2 band bill if necessary):

There are plenty of bars with function rooms, too. East Neuk?

Social clubs, too...I'm not really sure of any about but I'm sure they exist.

Might be worth asking at TKs about Exodus? I'm not sure what they'd say, but they've definitely had gigs in there in the past.

Or The Moorings..?

East Neuk is becoming officed now I think? Portals was another, but that was a no. I'm a little scared with them, because the music is pretty loud and that places might just pull the plug.

Exodus would be great. Will try that.

Do Moorings do stuff on days other than Satuday?

Thanks for all that. Other suggestions welcome too!

Not really sure - I'm sure Flash would be sympathetic to the cause and perhaps make an exception if they limit themselves to Saturdays normally (and there aren't licensing issues).

i'm afraid the saturdays only thing is very strict at the moorings. we've had to pass up on some pretty cool bands before.

Why? Just out of curiosity.
