Seriously? Fuck that!

Don't worry it is going to be pretty much an all day event. So all genre's etc will get a crack, it is open to all types of music and bands, hoping to have a really good mix. But I want to get bands in that people want to hear, so thanks for all suggestions. Tunk

Well as discussed last week the "Super gig" at the Beach ballroom is going ahead. Should have a date by the end of this week. Without turning this into a best band in Aberdeen thread, what bands do we want playing at it? And remember, this is not an Aberdeens best band thread! Tunker

I'm coming into see you on Tue Steven in regards to ABDC's date at Moshulu. Your help could be invaluable in the Beach Ball Room event.

This gig is definately going to take place! I have recieved so much support and advice over the last 12 hours, thanks to everyone who has contacted me. Watch this space!

Well I'm sure we could come to some arrangement somewhere down the line with the council. I have looked into PA's, security etc, and have people who are willing to reduce costs to help me out, In fact pretty much have 6 guys willing to do security for 20 CIH. But I've been advised they won't be covered by the Ball rooms insurance though, so have to look into this further. Want to cover all avenue's and angles before setting anything in stone.

I think the Forum is 350 and the Beach ball room is over the 1000 mark, but not exactly sure. The problem is that you can't have live music in the Forum till after 10pm, as the Stage Door restaurant is above it. Have already made enquiries into the Beach Ball room and it's not cheap. But am certainly going to give it a go, certainly with all the interest this thread has attracted.

Certainly never meant to indicate i wanted to put on a gig of what i thought were "Super groups", although I know that is what the thread is hinting at blah blah. I just want to put on a night of bands I think a lot of people would enjoy. I certainly don't want to be drawn into an argument on who are super groups

Well if you are seriously interested, PM me, and maybe we can come up with something.

Well you never know, maybe one day. There are loads of bands I love and never get to see, and this way I could see them all in one day. And maybe get a shit hot gig out of it myself:up:

Financially I could have funded it initially. I have contacts where I could have got hold of PA's and stuff at discounted prices and put on a proper show. I even looked at the idea of getting involved with a couple of local charity's to pass on any profits, so I wasn't accused of doing it to make a wad of cash. But after I spoke to a few people, it seemed to me to be more hassle than it was worth. Not because of the time etc it would take to organize, but because of the attitudes of a lot of the people I would have liked to have had involved.

I have been toying with the idea of putting on an event at the Beach Ball Room for sometime now. I have organized some decent size gigs all over Scotland and quite enjoy it. Although I have to admit they have always been for my bands, but I really fancied trying to pull off an extravaganza. The problem was I wanted to put it on covering loads of different styles of bands, Original, Covers, Tributes etc. My idea was to put on some of the most popular bands in the town on one bill. But the problem I found that there was so much bitching between folk that it would cause me to much stress and hassle trying to confirm a line up, that would not only get people in, but that wouldnt cause a mass of arguments.

Theo was awesome before McCoist linched him with that tackle, he was never the same keeper after that. Can't blame him for going to the Hun's for the money. He was a good servant to Aberdeen.

I used to be in a band that did 'King Contrary Man', ace song to play.

Probably not actually:jester:

Rhythm guitarist needed to complete Cult tribute band. Drums, lead guitar, bass and vocals already in place. If you wanna rock out some Cult songs with us, can play guitar and want to do some decent gigs, give us a PM, or email Scott@rsdltd.co.uk Cheers Tunker.

Thanks Baz, I'll bear that in mind

The scooter in general is pissing me off, it seemed such a good idea at the time. You having more money doesn't piss me off at all, cause whenever we go for Tapa's you always pay! he he And to be honest, if I was a pretty boy like you I'd be selling my ass on Golden square as well. We all know where you really get your bucks from

Just disappointing that it was your wrist and not your whole arm eh?

There is absolutely no doubting, I AM fucking ace. Everyone bow down to me, I am the Boy!

Daz min, your the dude with the money, you could be a generous mate and buy the bloody thing aff me. It's startin to piss me aff

Alcolm, where is the love? Everyone in Echo7 is happy with their sexuality, whether gay or straight, thats all that matters.

Langstane press could do it, but they'd be bloody expensive at a guess. Or you could try Alan Beattie at the Ink shop in Rosemount, he does quite a lot of different stuff for me, he might not do exactly what your looking for but would be worth a shot. Or finally, try Henry Gibsons on Novar place, they might be able to help you, or at least give better advise than me.

PM Dazz Howie who has posted a few links in various threads. The boy is a wizard as far as slap bass goes. He might help you out

Baz, i hope it wasn't a product from one of the gay sex shops Darren frequents? I thought you and me were the last 2 from the open mic night who weren't gay, as both Daz's we played with obviously are. Please don't let me down
