The Ghost Of Fudge

Yucks are up for Best Newcomer

IT IS TIME, ONCE MORE, FOR FUDGE'S ABERDEEN MUSIC AWARDS! The most worthy bands will be invited up onstage at Krakatoa, Saturday 27th February, to give thanks to their fans at our 16th annual awards ceremony with a short acceptance speech. We assure you the awards are tongue-in-cheek - but we'd encourage you to get dressed up posh anyway. Tophats and tails, please.

Three bands will play too, lest we forget in all this carefully planned chaos. This year, we've got the incomparible spectacle of DEPECHE CHOAD, the sprightly modern sounds of LENIN DEATH MASK, and shiny indie-rock newcomers WENDELL BORTON.

Facebook Event - https://www.facebook.com/events/535553809936658/

There are three ways to vote in this category:

1. Here on Ab-Music. In these polls. You're reading one now.

2. Elsewhere on the internet! We'll have a poll up 'soon' on facebook.

3. In person at Krakatoa! Paper voting slips will be handed out at Fudge gigs until the awards.

These votes will be COMBINED to arrive at our one true champion for 2016!

IT IS TIME, ONCE MORE, FOR FUDGE'S ABERDEEN MUSIC AWARDS. We'll be awarding trophies across a number of categories. The winners will attempt to gargle their appreciation live onstage at Krakatoa, on Saturday 27th February at our no-expense-spared live awards ceremony - best dealt with via the medium of tequila. It's all very tongue-in-cheek, but we encourage you all to get dressed up in suits, kilts and ballgowns anyway. Heckling is rife, and the speeches are usually shambolic. Crowd participation in terms of cheering and jeering is mandatory.

Three bands will play too, lest we forget. This year, we've got the incomparible spectacle of DEPECHE CHOAD, the sprightly modern sounds of LENIN DEATH MASK, and shiny indie-rock newcomers WENDELL BORTON.

the final show of 2015 - tickets are onsale

 

see you in 2016!

Come on down to Krakatoa on a Wednesday night, and you'll find us engaged in the sort of boozy fun that makes a week night bearable.

Kicking off around 8pm, and continuing through until the midnight curfew, our spirit guides will help you select a track from the thousands available, and parade you in front of the caterwauling masses as entertainment. There are prizes for the best participants (see online). 

So, if all this sounds like a bloody good idea, you'll find us at 2 Trinity Quay in the Merchant Quarter on Wednesdays.

this forum upgrade's gone well ... *sigh*

SO. You're sitting at home in the frozen northern wastes. BUT YOU WANT TO GO OUT AND CATCH SOME GREAT LIVE MUSIC TO WARM UP, AMIRIGHT? 

 

Krakatoa hosts bands on FRIDAY and SATURDAY nights, from 8pm-11pm.

 

You can find a list of all up coming shows on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/volcanictiki/events

 

Or you can browse our famously colourful gig posters online too - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1729299217299124.1073741835.1566458153583232&type=3

 

If you'd like to be considered for a band slot, please send some music links and info via Facebook.

 

the full line-up is now confirmed for the Fudge Awards 2016 - 

Depeche Choad!

Lenin Death Mask!

Wendell Borton!

with -

A REALLY DRUNKEN TWO PART AWARDS CEREMONY!

... and here's the event again - https://www.facebook.com/events/535553809936658/

Hopefully, in an ideal world, nominees will be announced "shortly" and voting will commence at the start of the year
