The results are in and the winner is... - aberdeen-music

Stuart and myself are now back in Aberdeen and yeah, it looks like we were victorious.

Many, many thanks once again to everyone for sending me comments and feedback for the evidence (which we never got the opportunity to use in the end) and, most importantly, for voting. The vote was close (55% swing our way) and so I'm convinced that without the votes from you all we would have simply lost. For that, both myself and Stuart are fantastically grateful.

Initial signs are that aberdeen-music.com has come out well from this ordeal (it really did feel like that at times!). I won't know the site statistics until tomorrow but I think it's going to be a record breaker. This morning alone there were 25 new registrations and a peak of around 220 people on the web site at one time. And yes, please accept my apologies as both the web server and database ran out of open connections thus making it impossible to connect to the web site for short periods of time. This surprised even me and I'll be speaking to my web hosts to see what we can do about that to avoid it happening in the future (yeah, like there will ever be a scenario like this again!).

Many thanks also to the staff at SMG who looked after Stuart and myself. We were made to feel very comfortable and relaxed despite the madness going on around us!

As mentioned in the last announcement, both Stuart and myself will be out celebrating tonight at The Bassment and then probably Moshulu. So if any of you want to pop along and join us then please do!

Congrats on the victory, and nice suit Neil

You were indeed beautifully dressed Neil. And I liked the way you mentioned how many users/hits/posts etc. Was all very entertaining.

I taped the show and am considering ripping it to my PC for anyone who is interested

You both came across well, if a little nervous. Congratulations on the victory.

ps: It appears that the Stranded site is no more.

che - that would be ace if you could put it on your pc, because spazzy over here thought it was from 9.25pm

This also reminds me, one of the guys who looked after us so well was called Kevin, a top bloke and brought us a great lunch

He is also a musician and will be playing in Drummonds next Sunday, apparently they're very beach boys-esque and people should go along to check them out

Hope to see you tonight,

Cheers

Stuart
