Note to all promoters, studios etc: feel free to get some posters, business cards, flyers to me. There will be table/stalls for placing things. Equally if you want to hang around and chat that to is good. Be great if we can see the extent of what goes on in and around Aberdeen. It's surprisingly more vibrant than one thinks.

Who is playing I hear you ask>>> Andrew Brand kicks off the night with some fine acoustic songwriting. There may or may not be a gap after Andrew to fill. This gap, or not, is followed by The Brothers Reid and their fun filled entertaining music sensibilities. The day is then finished off in fine style by le massive Taco And The Sharpies and their internationally flavoured soul, funk, hip hop sensibilities. Cracking gig and only £3 unless you have been along to the earlier activities at Aberdeen College and the Lemon Tree and therefore free. Did I also mention that Murray and Jordan of Excerts fame are being flown in from the 'sarf' as special guests on the Q&A from 6pm in the Lemon Tree Studio? Free? Yip!

Did I mention the gig at night is £3 and open to all? No? Well the gig at night is £3 and open to all!

Agreed. Its actually rather awful and infuriating so now added to my 'not played anymore pile'. Completed the really short campaign. Was dealing with stuff but tried MW3 today and boy does that hit the spot... Yes more of the same but a real pretty game and the maps are very nice. Will enjoy it until all the geeks get their geek on and it becomes very annoying. Oh and quick scopers are dicks!

I'm shit ad CoD and less shit at BF3. Much prefer the pace of BF3. Jnr wants CoD so win...

Additional info coming soon regards a workshop and Q&A at the Lemon Tree in association with Hit the Road. Special guests to be announced soon.

Onc again I find typos that weren't there earlier. Honest. New glasses me thinks!

We are in the process of finalising the those that will be participating in the delivery of the day and contacting directly but there will be those we miss. Knowing the sage bodies that frequent this site a post was needed as a shout out for all the hidden gems and fountains of knowledge that live and work across the region. If you think that the objectives list below is in someway an area of expertise then contact us on the email address at the bottom of this post. The aims of the event are: • Show and explain process involved in writing, producing, recording and performing music. • Provide insight into venue and promoter expectations. • Demonstrate the wide-ranging career options within the music industry. • Provide advise on self promotion, marketing and professionalism. • Explain process involved in self releasing • Explain royalties and methods of income generation. • Promote professionals and facilities available in the north east • Promote new and existing networks.
