inspired by this memory, which i'd totally forgotten about, i'm trying to think of some of the 'gems' from the grassy verges of my recollection:

* Sona Fariq, leaping around the venue infront of 20 people...

* My friend Debs getting invited up to sing Wuthering Heights with China Drum and stage diving after an energetic performance...

* Sitting in a semi-circle right infront of the Pecadillos (?) with stoney "impress me" faces after they wouldn't let Clocker share their backline or something...

* Singing for RATAMS, and watching the circle pit main each other to Rage and Deftones songs...

To be fair, a lot of my memories are of hosting the AUBL Halloween nights, or the Air Guitar championships with Jonny A Go Go. And stuff like that. I'll do anything for free booze...

They never played it, luckily all the fans were about 14 so they didn't beat us up. I'm now trying to remember why I was there in the first place...

Haha, it did possibly happen at a Harry D's gig as well, but that would have been in good spirits, I think it was the night in The Moorings that I played with you guys you're thinking of.

Surely this is the worst place ever for a hotel? No parking, loads of noise, drunk 14 year old girls spewing outside?

First ever gig I went to was at Kef, and I am gutted that it is going. Highlights include:

- Lightyear's Neil whapping his cock out on stage

- Extreme Quiche/Pork Pie when Captain Everything played

- King Prawn's first gig at Kef (I have never seen downstairs so packed)

- Capdown's two nights, both amazing sets

- Liber8's wall of death during Morning Lush

- Many Quik gigs

- Precipeace was such an amazing night, although never go up to play 'The Chicken' when you are pissed out of your face

- Various circle pits which hurt like fuck

- My mate who ALWAYS lost his glasses/shoes in the mosh pit

- Various Ketchup and Jungle Nations (the ones which I can remember)

- People's faces when we played there for the first time

There is a sincere lack of places that I want to go in town as it is, but this is a major loss for Aberdeen.

HOW DID I FORGET THIS? I remember going home to my mum asking if I enjoyed the gig. I didn't know what to tell her. That gig was amazing. My friend Sam (SamWise, if he still posts) accidentally bought Captain Everything's album, thinking it was Lightyear's. I had to change it for him, with Lightyear subsequently ripping it out of CE. All in good faith, obviously.

Can't believe it's going to be a hotel, that's crazy.

the extreme quiche and pork pie challenge rocked. i also remember one of the aubl christmas nights, when we did a ''eat as much christmas pies challenge'' think wee Aaron from gilman street won it, he ate something like 18 christmas pies, his present for that was another pack of 6 mince pies, which i believe, he also ate.

I think Neil and Chas got naked at that gig, maybe the others too. They upgraded to a spaceship the next time I saw them

Oh yes, I remember that, great gig. I met him later on that night in Moshulu (I think)... My friend was the first person to recognise him that night. I think that night ended up with too many free samples of Southern Comfort...
