I'm giving them benefit of the doubt that they weren't planning on having two such places open in Aberdeen?

Although it's a shame the venue has closed, I agree that there's no shortage of venues in aberdeen. That's literally just common sense given the events of the past few years.
The Lemon Tree isnt just a venue! Its an arts centre!
Without the Lemon Tree in Aberdeen there is nothing that caters for the groups that used it.
Its a major loss to the north east community.

I wonder how many people working for the council would have given up their paid-for lunches to keep the Lemon Tree going? What was the cost a couple of years ago? £50k+?

Seriously, darkly, royally pissed off about this - and not just because I'm missing out on all the winter gigs I'd planned to see. Where's that grim smiley?

Bill's right too - some cracking venues in other cities and the council NEED a place like LT to draw in touring gigs/rep shows/stand up & at the same time keep the few tourists and their pennies in the city. Shot themselves in the foot a little there eh?

Good luck with the benefit gig this weekend! Some nice names lined up!

Nice one. You should fire that up in the Gig and Event Announcement forum on here - I'm sure there'll be a load of interest.

This thread is giving me the warm and fuzzies
As I've said before, I know a lot of people on Ab-Mus complain that there weren't enough gigs they wanted to go to, but I lost count of the nights I wandered up to work expected a nice quiet Tuesday night blues gig and ended up run off my feet. There are other age groups and musical genres than the 16-25 rock kids
The effort that the (former) staff have put in should be held up as an example to us all, it's been truly inspiring and heartwarming, even after the soggy shambles of last saturday Even though there is in reality little that can be done to return the Lemon Tree to it's former glory, those guys just keep fighting. My hat is off to you all, damn fine work.
What's going on with the theatre groups (va-va voom, 50+ plus crowd and so on)? Are they involved in stuff? I'm sure they'd love to get stuck in.

That urban legend has been on the go for years and is rehashed for every new flat development...
