As far as scale goes that depends entirely on the amount of funding and sponsorship we are able to secure and how much support we get from locals business, musicians, press etc. The aim primarily would be to present a med to large scale local event in conjuction with smaller events around the city. Featuring a well promoted program of quality local acts. There are also ideas being thrown around about trying to get northsound involved in some way, a possible compliation of the featured acts, a film of the event but again this depends on securing the funding and personel. It's very much a case of deciding what is feisable in the time scale and budget the first time round but i would hope to extend it to further years if it was a success. As far as our ability to make it happen is concerned, i personally have been involved in the aberdeen music scene for about 5 years both playing and promoting however we will be working closely with the council, creative culture scotland, the aberdeen international youth festival and the cultural enterprise office and others to both present proposal for funding and also to carry out planning for the event. My ultimate responsability will be to engage and co-ordinate as many local organisations and individuals as possible to lend their expertise towards the execution of the event. This is something I feel i'm more than cabable of doing with the help of a driven commitee which we are already putting into place. Again, I would make the appeal to anyone wishing to get involed in some capasity to get in touch via aberdeen music or preferably email: that-tickles@hotmail.co.uk Also, i would stress that things are at a very early stage so now is the time to speak up with regards to suggestions of a name for the overall event, where you would like to see events happen, what bands/artists you would like to see, where you think the main event should be held and the kinds of related merch you would be interested in (cd's,DVD, t'shirts etc). Anything will be lookied at an concidered carefully because I think we could really have something to be proud of here if we all try and make it work. What have we got to lose.....
