Are you the new programmer? You seem to be doing a helluva lot of work for the LT if not! This whole set up strikes me as the LT placing itself at the pinnacle of the local music scene and it has a great deal of work to do before it gets that status back, if ever, and it's not looking hopeful. I haven't read your entire post as each one seems to get longer and longer as you dig yourself out of an ever increasing hole! The way things are going is simply encouraging me to get back into promoting and putting on gigs elsewhere! And as for the Underkills and feedback/advice. You have a great deal of work to do before you are ready to offer any advice to bands at any stage of a career. I say this having heard you but not seen you play. Happy to be proven wrong and I appreciate what you are trying to do but it strikes me as somewhat misguided. I have been involved in music in many ways for around 20+ years and would still be very cautious about offering advice and feedback for a band. And if I ever happen to play the LT and someone comes up to me offering me feedback they better have some protective headgear on!
