I agree snowdog, especially with the line up of Aberdeen bands as well

Gosh overwhelming support for this thread then!!

Trying to guage the amount of people going to this gig and whether there is transport going to and back to Aberdeen etc. Its sounds like its going to be a great all dayer, might even contemplate camping there for the crack. The more people that attend the more interest will be shown by bigger bands for next year, Bluetones and Grim Northern Social are fine though. I believe ther is space/tickets for about 8,000 people.

WOW a local festival right on our doorstep, with camping too. Hope this is a regular event on the calandar. Will be buying my ticket soon.

sorry for the slow reponse had to re format my computer. My copy has a picture of the producers with the new CD and quite a bit of spiel about the music 'scene' in Aberdeen and the north of Scotland. Can't be all bad hopefully we can get more coverage in the future.

Page 6 of my P&J today!!!! Am I seeing things or is that an article about the music scene. I hope this is the start of more coverage by this paper, I must say its about time. Well done to the HUBl lads for releasing the CD it must have been some effort, lets hope it sells well. Anybody any comments?

I can't believe this thread is not mobbed with comments, the CD is really good value. Now I have actually sat down and listened to it and read the insert from cover to cover, christ we have some talent in this area. Anyone willing to put on a CD launch!! (Moshulu, Tunnels et all) featuring bands off the CD. There has to be some mileage in this, any ideas, anyone!!

All those bands for only a fiver, good value for money I say!!

Well done to the boy lacks patience and I must say to my favourite band the Method. Between them we have shown the central belt that we do have some musical clout up in this corner of Scotland.

Sorry not my cup of tea I'm afraid. Pleasant enough to listen too and I'm sure he will appeal to a wide audience. Good Luck.

Good luck in the contest, my favourite local band at the moment are The Method from Buckie and they are also in the competition and played on tuesday. Its good we have 2 bands from our immediate area representing the north of Scotland, it shows the depth of talent we have up here. Lets hope somebody takes notice for all these bands on Tom Mortons show.

Marshall and Ross. Good for you responding to this thread. I am sorry if I have called into question your bands professionalism, that was not my intention, but just a SEA virgins eye view if you know what I mean. Getting back to my main point, if your singer could occasionally look at the audience. He was very animated at several parts of your set and really getting into his music, it might in my opinion help visually for the audience. I have to agree thinking back on the night the on stage lights for all the support bands did not alter, however when RAAR came on they went mental which visually for me enhanced the overall effect of their performance. Before you flame me I know the music is what it is all about but I think it might have helped all the bands i.e a bit more atmosheric if you know what I mean. I think I 'm talking bolloxs now..........

Stuart I agree the music must be good, but I was standing near the front during their performance and had to close my eyes because the visuals were irritating me a bit, why was I standing at the front, I was showing support for your band as most of the audience had departed for the seedier parts of Aberdeen, these yokels from MORAYSHIRE ( for Ross) hav'nt seen houses more than 2 storeys high. Gosh now I'm flaming others. Sorry all. To be perfectly honest I was there to see the Method and like you I am biased to them, however I gave all the bands on the night my full attention.

Yeh, whatever, stuart, everyone is entitled to their opinion, however your statements are flawed, especially your fist sentence. Anyone else agree...bands should not play to the audience....maybe if they had a big fan base I could understand, but their fans were very much in the minority on that last gig. However I am looking forward to hearing their next record, when is the release date?
