Some hairdressers, shops (One-Up etc... Fopp used to but I don't think they do now) let you put up posters.

I've postered those manky toilets across from Tastie Tattie many a time.

Most of the chippers on George street take posters, as do some places on Belmont Street.

Since posting this we have seen various posters appear from The Tunnels, The Lemon Tree, and Moshulu. Therefore we will assume that it is OK for promoters to exhibit posters for Moorings gigs at those places

There is a clubnight poster for Vice at Moshulu on a Monday that we are prepared to tolerate because we have punters that come to us on route to vice, so advertising this helps us too, and gives people a reason to go out drinking on Mondays.

The Lemon Tree submitted two posters. One of those was a B&W multi-listing advertising all their gigs for a month, which is aesthetically displeasing, and contrary to our policy. We're considering taking this down. On a postive note, all the gigs listed are expensive and of minority interest. The negative side being that the gigs all start too early for people to go drinking elsewhere beforehand. Our (indirect) dealings with the Lemon Tree to date have revolved around them screwing us with RETROSPECTIVE gig blocks on 4 occasions. So are we due them any favours? - Yeah right! We are fine with the poster for the Motorhead and Metallica tribute bands to remain (it is colourful and contains artwork), even though this conflicts with one of our own gigs. I'm sure that many of our regular customers would like to attend this.

In future would all chancing bastards please refrain from sticking up multi-gig type advertisements. They don't add anything of interest to our decor.
