Do Regulars get a discount on these gigs?
Sadly, as they aren't Lemon Tree promotions, no, there's just the one price.

presumably' date=' quite astonished they are still expected to play the 'tree[/quote']
Pah!

i would have to disagree on that one. i think lemontree is a far better place to see a band+ the sound is better. The size of the venue lets you get closer to the band and you have a better chance of meeting them. Im not saying there is anything wrong with the music hall' date=' just that i prefer lemontree.[/quote']
Hear Hear Mr Lizard King, No plans to reschedule to the music hall. As you say, there's nothing wrong with the music hall but The Lemon Tree is better. Although I may be biased.

Yep Needles are Ace,
Missed them last night, but you can't argue with that much conviction and intensity in one show. Macrocosmica tonight yay!

The Music plus support
Thursday 21 April 2005 - Lemon Tree
Tickets 15 (10 concessions & regulars)
Doors Open: 8pm
Show Starts: 8.30pm
It's been over two years since The Music's debut album established them among the top contenders as the UK's best new band. The band from Leeds were barely 18 when their album 'The Music' came in at number four in the UK album charts in September 2002. Since then they have enjoyed phenomenal success worldwide with relentless touring and unforgettable moments in places as diverse as Brixton Academy and Fuji Rock in Japan. Their second album 'Welcome to The North' has failed to disappoint fans and has shown the band's ability to move forward through diversity with the 1st single, Freedom Fighters, proving to be a massive hit.

Aberdeen Jazz Festival: Brian Auger's Oblivion Express
Thursday 3rd March The Lemon Tree
Tickets 15 (10 concessions & regulars)
Doors Open: 8pm
Show Starts: 9pm
Brian Auger's Oblivion Express pulls into The Lemon Tree for an evening of killer groove Hammond organ virtuosity. Other musicians may have taken the glory but few luminaries from the 60s club scene have left a deeper mark on music history than Auger who is widely regarded as the godfather of acid jazz, as well as being a crucial figure in the 60s mod and R&B scene and a leading light of the jazz-rock movement in the states in the 70s.
A professional musician since 1963, Brian is credited with being one of the first jazz fusion artists, having achieved success in both the jazz and rock worlds with his bands Steampacket, Oblivion Express and most famously The Trinity. He has also worked with Long John Baldry, Rod Stewart, Sonny Boy WIlliamson, Jimmy Page, Julie Driscoll and Eric Burdon. He scored major chart success in the UK, Europe and the US with Closer To It, Indian Rope Man, I Want To Take You Higher, This Wheel's On Fire and countless other groove-based hits, and is still considered to be one of the foremost exponents of the Hammond organ.
"Brian Auger is one of the best Hammond B-3 artists I have ever heard in my life. His technique is awesome and the energy he generates is unparalleled. He deserves all the accolades." Herbie Hancock
"Those who remain oblivious to the obvious delights of Brian Auger do so at their own risk." Beastie Boys

Lemon Tree Songwriter's Project: The Needles+Junk Dust+Steve Milne
Thursday 24th February The Lemon Tree
Tickets 5 (3.25 concessions & regulars)
Doors Open: 8:30pm
Show Starts: 9:15pm
Aberdeen band The Needles (pictured) have built up a strong following of 'obsessive' fans as a result of 5 sold-out EPs, radio airplay around the globe and their acrobatic, blood-splattered live shows, which have on more than one occasion been known to hospitalise members of the band. They've also done hundreds of gigs, including T-in-the-park, In the City and DeathDisco, written thousands of songs, toured the UK several times, recorded sessions for Radio 1, Radio Scotland, Beat 106 and SBN, amongst others, and generally got very, very good at what they do in the process.
Craig Davidson is an energetic and charismatic songwriter, who at the age of 17 has a bright future. Tonight he performs with his powerful 3-piece band Junk Dust. Hold on tight!
Steve Milne from Little Kicks will open the night with an acoustic set of his own material.

LOVE: with Arthur Lee: plus Primary 5
Tuesday 12th April The Lemon Tree
Tickets 16.50 (11 concessions & Regulars)
Doors Open: 8.30pm
Show Starts: 9pm
Love has long been recognised as one of rocks truly seminal bands. Led by the hugely charismaticsinger/guitarist/drummer Arthur Lee, they were among the most influential and experimental acts of the 60s.Their opening trilogy of albums from 1966/7 - Love, Da Capo and Forever Changes - remain classics to thisday with Forever Changes a fixture in the upper reaches of any All Time Greatest Albums list. Love captured the look, the sound, and attitude of a society in change; the first multiracial rock band of the psychedelic era with music to match, delving into acoustic folk, electric blues-rock, symphonic pop and jazztinged balladry en route to totally rewriting the rule book for rock bands.
A sensation on both their previous visits, the Love lineup is strengthened even further this time with the addition of original guitarist Johnny Echols.

Lemon Tree not falling to bits
Hi Gumpy,
All that happened was, we had a small leak in the roof which caused some minor damage in the venue. The problem was resolved in hours and the only gig affected was Tuesday lunchtimes' Aberdeen Jazz Festival gig. The rest of the festival has gone ahead as planned and so will all other gigs. Hope that puts your mind at rest.
