No, it isnt, but ypu would think it is you're so far up the foyers arse I'm surprised you remember what sunlight looks like. The point is certainly not just that Aberdeen bands arent being chosen at all but that bands with no experience are being given places without even applying yet bands who in comparative terms dont know their arse from their elbow. The point was that bands who have gone out their to try and raise Aberdeen's profile have been missed for bands who have never left the cities boundaries. We're not talking about shit bands not being showcased, we're talking about bands who are rated outwith this city getting a chance in their own city. The only Aberdeen act which is included and it might be argued cover tht is MMw, the others are jokes. I would be interested to know how much all the sponsors know about the fact that GoNorth is a means to promote certained favoured bands who bypass the selection process. I'd hope that AUBL and aberdeen-music will remove their endorsements for future years until they prove that all bands chosen are from those submitted, why be associated with a com,petition who takes the piss out of the bands willing to contribute. I mean, what good does it really do Aberdeen to show 'the professionals' that our music scene is purely a bunch of kids who have only played a handfull of gigs?The Aberdeen scene should be about covering the best not the mates of Dave and the rest of the foyer bunch, it's a joke and it does absolutely nothing for the Aberdeen scene except making it look amateurish. Wheres the public face of the foyer in all this?Would he like to comment on why bands are being ased after the date without submitting demoes and why the better acts are being turned down in order for bands who strangely enough have all got promoter/foyer connections. If aberdeen-music is a GoNorth endorser then I think we are entitled to ask for an explanation. El Flosso

Pot... meet mr kettle El Flosso

"the cuts?" was that the same cuts who badmouthed fudge constantly after their last fudgenight appearance? Seems like its not worth wastiung your time with bands who have no respect for what you do. El Flosso

That's OK, neither do the band El Flosso

Well obviously no-one has any photo's because they're an imaginary band in the minds of some very sad forum members who have nothing better to do with their life than pretend they've recorded 3 albums ;)It's very sad, but some people have to pretend. El Flosso

Ah so Jo doesn't get a chance to win anything because you couldn't think of a place to put her. I wouldn't have said she was that different to Kathryn Sawyers, except for being more popular. I agree that Jo should get something, the girl's achieved so much more than any of the other bands nominated, she's sold thousands of CDs, played to more people in a few gigs than most people nominated play to their whole career. How many other acts on the bill have played to a sold out Barrowlands crowd ? Or shared a stage with Joe Walsh, or played the Amsterdam Paradiso. Is Fudge scared to reward excellence ? Scared it'll make the rest of the acts look like they haven't achieved anything ? She's been criminally overlooked in previous years, come on Fudge she deserves something, she's offered to play, don't let her miss out because of Fudge's lack of imagination on who she'd play with because she'd blow them off stage... Go Fudge, you know it makes sense... El Flosso
