WE'RE GETTING TO THE POINTY END OF BUSINESS...
We invite you to join us at Krakatoa on Saturday 11th March, to celebrate the twin joys of music and drinking while listening to music. We'll be hosting the 17th instalment of the legendarily shambolic FUDGE MUSIC AWARDS - complete with tinfoil podium, and trophies for the winners. The triumphant victors, should they be in attendance, will be invited onstage to give thanks to their fans, and subjected to a brief 'red-carpet interview' by our co-host for the night, MAGENTA LUST. So enjoy the evening - and also the vast selection of world beers.
Three bands will play too, lest we forget in all this carefully planned chaos. The bouncy GYPSY ROOTS. The proggy SOLQUIN. The rip-roaring SMOKIN' BUGLER BAND. Although the night is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, we encourage you to get dressed up. It IS an awards ceremony, after all. Tophats and tails, please!
Facebook Event - https://www.facebook.com/events/148195125663805/
SO...
Consider the following six nominees, and vote above. You may vote for more than one choice. You'll also be able to vote on Facebook, at some point soon, and also in person at Krakatoa - paper voting slips will be handed out at gigs. All these votes will be totalled and COMBINED to arrive at our victors.

If you come on down to Krakatoa any given Wednesday night, and you'll find us engaged in the sort of loud, boozy fun that makes a week night in the frozen north bearable.
Kicking off around 8pm, and continuing through until the midnight curfew, our Krakaoke spirit guides will help you select a track from the thousands of billions available, and then parade you in front of the caterwauling masses as entertainment.
There's a prize for the winner.
If this sounds like a bloody good idea, you'll find us at Krakatoa, 2 Trinity Quay, Merchant Quarter, ABZ on Wednesdays.
There's even a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/krakatoakaraoke/

YET ANOTHER POLL...
We cordially invite you to join us at Krakatoa on Saturday 11th March, to celebrate the twin joys of music and, let's say for the sake of argument, 'moderate' drinking. We'll be hosting the 17th instalment of the legendarily shambolic FUDGE MUSIC AWARDS - complete with cardboard box podium, and glittering trophies for the winners. Three great live acts will play too. The bouncy GYPSY ROOTS. The proggy SOLQUIN. And the rip-roaring SMOKIN' BUGLER BAND.
Although the night is very tongue-in-cheek, we encourage you to get dressed up posh. It IS an awards ceremony, after all. The triumphant winners, should they be in attendance, will be invited onstage to give thanks to their fans, and subjected to a brief red-carpet interview by our co-host for the night, MAGENTA LUST.

HELLO YOU...
We cordially invite you to join us at Krakatoa on Saturday 11th March, to celebrate the twin joys of music and, let's say for the sake of argument, 'moderate' drinking. We'll be hosting the 17th instalment (!!!) of the legendarily shambolic FUDGE MUSIC AWARDS - complete with cardboard box podium, and glittering trophies for the winners. Three great live acts will play too: the bouncy GYPSY ROOTS; the proggy SOLQUIN; and the rip-roaring SMOKIN' BUGLER BAND.
Although the night is very tongue-in-cheek, we encourage you to get dressed up in a suit / kilt / ballgown / tux / monacle. The winners, should they be in attendance, will be invited onstage to give thanks to their legions of fans, and then be subjected to a brief red-carpet interview by our co-host for the night, MAGENTA LUST. So enjoy the evening, and be sure to partake of some chilli vodka to get the right vibe going.

WELCOME TO OUR NEON-DRENCHED DEN OF INEQUITY...
We cordially invite you to join us at Krakatoa on Saturday 11th March, to celebrate the twin joys of music and, let's say for the sake of argument, 'moderate' drinking. We'll be hosting the 17th instalment of the legendarily shambolic FUDGE MUSIC AWARDS - complete with cardboard box podium, and Poundland trophies for the winners. Three great live acts will play too: the bouncy, joyful GYPSY ROOTS; the sweet, proggy SOLQUIN; and the rip-roaring SMOKIN' BUGLER BAND.
Although the night is very, very tongue-in-cheek, we still encourage you to get dressed up in a suit / kilt / ballgown / tux / monacle. Make the effort, hobos! The winners, should they be in attendance, will be invited onstage to give thanks to their legions of adoring fans, and then given the red-carpet treatment by your co-host for the night, MAGENTA LUST. So enjoy the evening, and be sure to partake of some chilli vodka to get the right vibe going.
