Lots of musicians Ive spoken to about this say they scared of missing that one big opportunity I dont believe that! There are & will be hundreds of opportunities, open to everyone, and they all lead to somewhere. Whether its just along the road to some showcased Drummonds gig, some bigger & better venue down south or even a record deal. Every chance is worth perusing but its not the end of the world if you miss out on it. There is no such thing as being in the wrong place at the wrong time, so I believe anyway. Just as long as you dont back at the same time again! Aberdeen is small & there is not much of an open music/arts scene. Its all kinda underground & in some cases fairly cliquey. The problem is there are many artists out there who would sell their soul for fame & glory, though their just selling it to the wrong people. New bands set off with big intentions following some ideological dream but they always seem to crash after the first few hurdles. Purely because they dont know what to expect. Perseverance is an essential criterion. True! But its not like you can go & see your local careers advisor about it. The music industry is a whole different kettle of fish. There are people out there who are willing to help new bands find their feet, like Steve Milnes Dirty Harts Club & Callum Crightons Exposure for instance plus countless other local promoters & venues. Getting a gig isnt difficult its just who you play to thats the problem. Once a band/artist has established themselves in the scene. Its down to them to network & promote themselves. Easier said than done like, but you cant get everyone to wipe your arse all the time! Ive just recently started up a new band & after a fairy in-depth conversation with my singer I told her, subjectively, that at some point in the (not so near) future, if everything goes well, we would need to look at the possibilities of moving elsewhere as Aberdeen does have its limitations. Next week she tells me shes been looking for jobs in Glasgow. WTF! One Step at a time. Dont get ahead of yourself. Make friends with the right people, but dont sell out & from a purely business perspective Make sure you have a quality product that you can market well. But most of all make sure you'r in it for the right reasons... P.S. Sorry for elongated essay, hope this helps

Aright, Am Angus, 18yrs old, been playing drums for about 6 yrs now. Just bored of solos. Not much gigging experience apart from small school bands. Mostly heavy rock stuff, but for the last few years been really interested in sort of alternative Indie styles, influences include: StoneRoses, Ocean Colour Scene, Richard Ashcroft, Radiohead, The Cure , The Jesus & Mary Chain, Manic Street Preachers, Pixies, Seahorses, Super grass & The Charlatans. Also enjoy playing many genres; Jazz, Funk & Prog Rock etc. Wouldnt mind having an addition , like the sound of things, hope I meet ur standards, been told Im pretty good but cant really comment on that (too modest) Ha! Very interested in creating contemporary music & experiment with any genres - Bla bla bla. Seriously tho at least would like a wee jam.
