Thanks Mr Owl PhD, I think everyone from artists/audience/promoters enjoyed the night a lot & it was good the great turn out kept absorbed the the performances. I don't think we will be doing lots of gigs in the future but hopefully we will maintain the "quality not quantity" ethos. Hopefully the second half of the year will see some interesting music evenings of the highest order.....

very early review in already Review | Sharon Van Etten Tramp, Sharon Van Etten, Jagjaguwar, February 6th After the understated beauty of her first two albums, Sharon Van Etten returns with a record that manages to capture the special quality of her previous work, whilst building on it to create something slightly different, but no less wonderful. Tramp was recorded in a state of flux, a characteristic that feels fundamental to understanding the album. Van Etten was without a home during the recording of the album, but was luckily given a place to stay by The National’s Aaron Dessner, a big fan of her work. These two artists appear to have a natural affinity with each other, in that they both specialise in songs that are laden with emotion, and are life-affirming to boot. Dessner also provided a place for Tramp to be recorded, as well as featuring on the actual album. Despite the inclusion of a star-studded backing band, including Zach Condon of Beirut and Wye Oak, this is very much Van Etten’s time to shine. The album does sound very much like it’s been inspired by the circumstances in which it was written and recorded, with an air of melancholy running straight through the 12 tracks. It ranges from the lyrical references to Lost In Translation in ‘All I Can’ to ‘Magic Chords’ repeated refrain of “You’ve got to lose sometimes”. The songs on Tramp typically start out slow and quiet and gradually build and build into something truly wonderful, demonstrating a massive step forward from the tracks from her first album, Because I Was In Love. Highlights include the recently released track, ‘Serpents’, spectacular in its unabashed anger and with typically excellent vocals from Van Etten, as well as ‘Leonard’, which could almost be considered a singalong anthem. It is an album steeped in sadness, but for all its introversion, Van Etten manages to create an album full of engaging and exciting songs. Tramp is a spectacular album in that it manages to be both epic and intimate at the same time, and hopefully this time next year, Sharon Van Etten will be justifiably gracing a lot of Best of 2012 lists.

sad to say £9 on the door is always going to reduce turn out. with that line up in Aberdeen £6 would have been the charge on the door. As you know its really difficult attracting audience & will get even more difficult....pricing is a crucial factor

this is tonight bit.ly/sY9ghL Its gonna be mega from 8.30pm to late late bring your dancing togs for later bring along your bands or artist cd for Vic Galloway what an opportunity to hear it on BBC Radio Scotland

Want to get your favourite band, solo artist played on Vic Gallow's BBC monday night show? he's looking to increase the number of NE artists played on his show.

Husband have cancelled their UK tour due to illness HOWEVER delighted to say we have added the wonderful Iona Marshall (DeFence) Iona Marshall (DeFence) Its fantasic for IMP to welcome back Iona after her wonderful debut opening for Latitia Sadier. Hailed as a rising nu-folk star Iona fuses melodic songcraft with experimental synth parts, delicate harmonies, found samples and acoustic guitar hooks. She simply blew us all away & we are thrilled she has agreed at short notice to come & play again. Iona is also playing a great gig as part of Celtic Connection in 2012 after winning a Danny Kyle award in 2011. Look out for a new long play in 2012. https://www.facebook.com/pages/IONA-MARSHALL/109246405794808 http://ionamarshall.bandcamp.com/ http://www.celticconnections.com/whatson/event/118624-The-Big-Dish-and-Iona-Marshall
