the point of the thread should be to encourage bands that are just starting out, which may not know any better not to go for pay to play gigs. and i think that should go for any sort of topic where discussion is not really necessary, ie there is only two possible responses to this topic, very black and white. although things like this have probably been debated countless times on aberdeen music, i think our man from annie stevenson is just trying to get closer ties between the two forums, which i think is an excellent idea, although this thread seems to be forcing it a little. nonetheless the box music forum is looking good, and i think a big cheers are in order for bringing it to our attention in the first place
