Tickets for Glasgow are shifting rather quickly.

Animal Collective are indeed confirmed for T in The Park.... I forget which day. This will be the only Animal Collective show in Scotland for a good few months. Late sept / oct at the earliest for a return. Ross

Maybe RFR Promotions should have a forum. thoughts?

Glow / Lava / Kef offered to purchase / construct and maintain an area on the pedestrianised part of Belmont St for the council to erect a legal postering area. This was to be accessible to all clubs / venues. If the council actually supported live music and culture at this grass roots level then their larger venues wouldn`t need quite as much assistance as they have done over the last few years. THE prime spot for legal poster boxes is the wall beside Mostyns shoe shop on Bridge Place. You could make a packet renting that out to clubs etc. Needless to say Liquid would stump up the most cash and then that would be the end of it all but heh. Why doesn`t everyone get together and lobby an MP / councillor etc with a proposal. Anyone else see how well the postering works in Dundee. Even in the West End of Glasgow you have legalised fly posting and to be honest you don`t really notice it after a while. Unless you are likely to be interested in what is being promoted. Just a thought...... now..... does anyone on here have direct access to someone in politics........ahem TVT thoughts?

Will i tell him or does someone else wish to mention the connection? same manager

I posted this in another thread but the thread was wildly off tangent and thus am starting anew one. Neil / Dave / whoever please move to an appropriate forum if this is deemed unappropriate: Promoting in Aberdeen: 1.Generally word of mouth is the best method. Especially after a band have played. "Did you see so and so last night...etc?" 2.Postering is very time consuming and few places will let you put up posters and if you have numerous then you can forget about it. 3.There being no places for legal / rented flypostering unlike every other city in Scotland. 4.People are more inclined to go and see something they know than something they don`t and as thus the "local" scene in Aberdeen is very strong. 5.Promoting 1 gig or 2 gigs with double backed flyers etc is hard work. Promoting 10 gigs at once is a bloody nightmare unless you have a band that sells themselves. 6.Aberdeen is the slowest sell out on almost every tour except: Oasis / Stone Roses / Ian Brown etc and what you would generally conceive to have a laddish beer drinking following. 7.People are very quick to judge and to knock something back. 8.People always moan about something when it has gone / passed / finished / split up etc. 9.People are lazy when it comes to trying to find out about gigs and you really need to ram it down their throats each time to get a result. I take a deep breath as now i`ll be berated beyond existance. Ross
