    Ah this thread! :)

    On my part I can only apologise re the times mix up. The plan was indeed to have 4 bands. And I had been given times before whuich were worked out as best at they possiblky could be to finish at 11.30.

    As far as I know a late booking came in for something later that night and then Cook House Hereos pulled out late meaning the show times I put out were screwed.

    I was away with Cats x3 so had no way of letting people know.

    It was a shame but sometimes things happen and we just have to make the best of it.

    In this case it was because we were late in arriving to soundcheck and I apologise for that again.

    In most cases touring bands are late and thats why soundchecks never run on time. I wouldnt say its a Tunnels problem, this happens everywhere. As much as I give out times, they always 9/10 times come late and unfortunately being headliner still take the same time to soundcheck and so everything runs late.

    I was by no means having a go at any bands for that particular night as such, yes I was pissed off at the time, but I think it was just one of those nights!

    Thanks for the feedback though!

    While I would normally refrain from commenting on such crazy accusations, I would like to vehemently deny that we did any rider thievery. We were encouraged to help ourselves, and had approximately 1/2 of one of the two cases of beer provided, and didn't touch any of the food. We were told that it was a shared rider, to cover both bands.

    (And we were in the audience for the entire Catsandcatsandcats performance, not in the dressing room knocking back the rider!)

    Love from Christy

    Was only joking dude! Was shared! No probs! Prob came across wrong in type! I probably drank most of it and I wasnt even playing! I was only referring to the fact when we went back to the dressing room at load out all of it was gone but it turns out my mate Chris told you to take it so there we go! I take it all back and "Edgar Prais Rider Theives" headlines can be spared! Sorry man!

    Was good catching yous play again! Good stuff!

    I had a fun evening at the show and thought CCC were ok as were the Phoenix band.

    I however don't feel too bad for the band. Thought they were a little rude. I stayed and watched all the bands that evening however during our stage time the Phoenix band were nowhere to be seen and a couple of CCC dragged themselves out of their "Dressing room?" before disappearing after 2 songs. Where was the support?

    Surely neither of these 2 bands think that their music was the only thing worth listening to that night?

    I remember a time when all bands on a bill would get to know each other during sound check and really come together to build an energy into the night. This doesn't happen much nowadays. Noone wants to know.

    A large problem with turnout comes from the bands themselves simply not being as into it as they used to be. Too many people want to just say "I'm in a band" rather than really immerse themselves into the whole energy of the thing or put in any real effort.

    Over the years I've met some awesome people from other bands many of whom I'm still great friends with, had some life changing experiences and amazing memories. It's a shame that so many bands we encounter now are negative, self absorbed and think themselves "too cool" to bother with anyone else.

    So anyway, thanks for having eric euan on the bill Ross, Keep on trucking!

    Totally get your point. Cats did watch The Pheonix Bands set and some of yours - as far as I know they were just having a quick bite to eat before they went on when you finished your set. They were practicing a new song that was to be debuted. I wouldnt suggest they were being rude tbh as they watched all the other supports in Glasgow and Edinburgh and it was certainly nothing personal.

    I thought your set was great. I almost wish I hadnt started this thread now as its prob coming across like I feel hard done by and so do the band. They didnt complain at all, I was disappointed but I mean in the general apathy in Aberdeen, not just this show. Like you say there doesnt seem to be such an enthusiasm and "good spirit" - i.e The Phoenix Band simply left straight after their set.

    Its simple though, promoters like myself & the bands that do care and want to do it for the right reasons can only do their best and try to make the situation better and more enjoyable for all!

    Cheers for the show though!
