I'm struggling to think of ANYWHERE that serves vegan food (besides the soup in kilau) in aberdeen, AND could do with a few ideas for more veggie places i can eat

The tunnels restaraunt was amazing, but its been closed for aages now! does anyone know why?

cheers

Bill - you've made me cry again! I have done way too much crying this past week.

I'm gonna pitch in on this MUSIC site and tell a little bit about the threatre side of things at the Tree - bet some of you never even know there was a theatre?

Anyway I was the theatre/dance/kids shows programmer there for the last 5 years and I am angry & upset - but not for me

I am angry for all the 700 kids who were supposed to be there on Wednesday & Thursday to see a show for their Christmas nursery/school treat. My own son's school included. It broke my heart to tell him he wouldn't be going.

I am angry for the 40 or so mentally & phiysically disabled adults who come to their drama group every Tuesday night. They were the last ever group to use the venue before the locks were changed. If you have ever seen a Va Va Voom show you will know how truly special in so many ways that strand of the Lemon Tree's work was.

I am angry for the 50+ Chior & Theatre Group who meet weekly and were supposed to have their Christmas show on Friday. The wonderful men & women of Vocal Moves & Theatre Serindipity - I salute you.

I'm angry that the only choice of kids theatre in the city will be the Singing Kettle, Cbeebies, Lazytown and the likes. Are HMT and AECC going to be interested in putting on theatre for special needs children with makaton signing and limited audience capacity of 40? And theatre for under 3's for 20 kids at a time? So many kids have had their first ever experience of theatre at the Tree - that is now lost.

What choice now will there be to see theatre in Aberdeen? Andrew Lloyd Webber et al musicals at His Majestys at 30 a ticket or amateur drama groups at The Arts Centre. How dissapointing to have the Oil Capital of Europe with nowhere to support a culturally diverse, bold, innovative and high quality programme of theatre, dance and childrens performances.

I am personally gutted at all the performances I have had to cancel that were booked for 2008 - particular highlights included Tam O'Shanter Shadow Puppet Show, Dave Benson Phillips Get Up and Go Show (YES - the real DBP form Get Your Own Back) Mull Theatre Katie Morag, European kids shows as part of the Bank of Scotland Children's International Theatre Festival, Stellar Quines The Unconquered (CATS award for Best New Play) and lastly a 3 night run of Iain Banks The Wasp Factory which I was convinced may even have enticed some muso's to come and see a theatre show!

I can see that some of the music acts who appeared at the Lemon Tree can now be slotted into other venues but I can't think of any viabale alternatives where the theatre/dance/kids shows could be performed elsewhere in Aberdeen - there simply is nowhere. Well except for the new 20 million Union Terrace gardens Contemporary Arts Centre. But surely thats just a co-incidence?

It truely is a shame... i wish more could be done for theese groups, because as you and others have said... the loss of the music venue is a shame, but the loss of the facility for young theatre, disabled theatre, and 50+ choir group ect. is something that has nowhere else to go, i think that is the real loss with the lemontree, places like tunnels and moshulu will pickup the gigs im sure

grr... why oh why does this have to be 18+... like 5 months before i turn 18, i CANT miss the last ever needles gig! :'(

there are probably more... it has been a fairly amazing year for live music for me, deciding on ONE favorite is hard, but i think its gunna have to be jonah matranga @ tunnel 2, it is actually probably the best gig i have seen in my life, the atmosphere was amazing, his voice was amazing, and it was truely a pleasure, and a great honor to put that show on

Thanks everyone else who mentioned it, im glad it was as special for them as it was for me!

finch & brand new, the automatic, the boy lacks patience, "10 easy wishes's last ever gig" and that beatles tribute night karloff played are probably my favorites... oh, and maybe elvisness, that was ace!

Chain the fucker up and let him starve to death.

If an artist or volunteer choose to abuse himself in the name of art then so be it. When acting on/using another 'innocent' party (animal) that is something else and should be treated as such.

Too far!

I wish i could shake your hand for this comment, completley agree with you. The man is a sick cunt and deserves to be chained up and starved to death himself

will it be 18+? i know lemontree often are with the later gigs... but i can't miss the needles last ever gig!

My anti-tragus curved barbell has disapeared (fallen out at somepoint today) and i need to get a new one ASAP because its only a few weeks old... and i cant put them in myself

what time will they be on at?

Shouls be a goodun

this will be amazing

definatly an intereasting episode... the ending has me stumped too, the ideas abov are both possible, but who knows for suree! season 4 shall be amazing IMHO... anyone know when it is scheduled to start airing in america?

x

I'd never heard them before the gig at moshulu, but i will nefinatley be buying the album now!

how much will it cost altogether? ima bit skint, but this sounds like good fun

Hey... had 2 bands pull out on me for a gig tonight at the moorings, so i really need annother band/acoustic set/whatever... can anyone help me here?

i still don't understand why anyone would pick a fight with death and a ninja.

best sentance ive heard in a long time!

ive eventually saved up enough for a nice dslr, i think i'll probably go for the eos 400d, because it's a nice, but fairly easy to use camera!

im getting my belly done 4 times when i can afford it... dont see any difference between guys with piercings and girls with piercings really.

also playing are the fantastic red mongoose!

i saw a guy who couldn't have even been 15 wasted out his face at a taxi rank last week, eating a donnar kebab off the ground... it wisnae pretty.

Nevertheless, a good bit of praise for them, after the amount of times i have seen them and been blown away, its about time they got some national recognition!

sorryhog... had some urgent familyy stuff come up and been out of aberdeen foor a few weeks with no internet access

good books tonight should be good!

haha, modblog is the best! how many aberdeen-music users read it?

"everyone knows, you're a dirty little tart" <<AMAZING that proper made me laugh
