That dancefloor under Fopp is really intruiging, I think it would be ace for some gigs!! Do you know how to get in touch with the guy that owns the building?

I think Amadeus is a good shout. I think it would be great to see some dis-used buildings being performed in.

How about the old Tivoli?

Groove Cruise play a special bank holiday weekend set with funk and soul sounds that will get you moving.

Yeah you're right, I think I was just being a bit lazy. Need to use my muscles more! Cheers guys.

the IMF building at Foresterhill has an cental atrium that is AMAZING!! Great acoustics too.

I like it. I think some bits need to be 'blended' more if you see what I mean, they need to be quieter as the unique sound that they have makes them stand out anyway. Did you use steel drums?

I think it definately has a lot of potential, top notch :-) Do you have any more?

Do you wanna get off the street cos you're beginning to feel the heat?

The rockingest rocksteady beat of Aka-ska is ready. It's willing. And it's able to turn Aberdeen into a pile of skanking sweaty lunatics.

Bring it on!!

With support from local punk/ska outfit The Hijacks and DJ Dan, the Reggae Man.

Groove Cruise are a local soul and funk band. We are playing on behalf of Brake, a road safety charity.

Hi everyone

Following a very positive and welcoming reception from my recent support gig, I have now set up a myspace page.

This may be quite obvious to some people, but this is not a professional recording :-) It was recorded using a minidisc recorder which I set up during the start of one of my singing lessons. I just let it run for the duration, and then chopped up the songs using Total Recorder.

I would like to know what people think. Constructive criticism is welcomed, but I won't take any heed of people slagging me off just for the sake of it.

Cheers

Groove Cruise play soul and funk covers that will get you dancing.

Thanks

Thanks to everyone who was at the gig last night. I had a lot of positive comments and encouragement, which has inspired me to look for more gigs in Aberdeen.

Cheers

Jayne

haha, no, what I meant was has anyone heard her set? I haven't heard her stuff, just her myspace contributions.

aka-ska will be having their next gig at The Tunnels on 20th July

DJ Dan the Reggae Man is ace, he usually accompanies us for our gigs.

I don't know if this makes me sad, but I like the song 'Something happened on the way to heaven'. Sorry, the early genesis stuff is before my time :-)

has anyone seen Sarah Tingle?

Thanks gordon, I have sent an e-mail via my hotmail.

Festival virgin

Hey folks

I haven't been to any sort of music festival, and I know it apparently varies one to the other, but what should I expect? I'm thinking I need wellies and deoderant :-)

If that's true...that would be great!

I am a member of said ska band and yes, it would appear that Glassel is on, unless we are being hired to stand in a field...

If you book them, they will come!!!!

I saw Kathryn Sawyers at the Pride festival, she was ace!!

Hi everyone

I am the newly appointed social convenor for a choir in Aberdeen, and I would like to hold some fundraising events for the choir. One idea I had is for a ceilidh, can anyone recommend a good ceilidh band based in Aberdeen? Perhaps you are in a ceilidh band and would like to volunteer your services :-)

As you can probably guess, there is very little money available in advance for payment. If I organise a ceilidh payment for the band would come from the door tax.

Cheers

Jayne

Quick and shameless plug:

What will you think of my attempts to sing classical vocals in Tunnel 2? I'm getting a feeling I will be shot down.

Kathryn Sawers - singer/songwriter

Jayne Carmichael - classical soprano

Sarah J. Tingle - atmospheric ambiance

I thought you were good. I could see that you were enjoying yourself and that makes the difference for me.

Viva le French 'eep 'op :-)
