Less than a week of now, people!

This is going to be an absolute blinding gig, utterly raging I can't make it (The Man and his money grabbing ways...)
I highly recommend this to anyone with even a passing interest in good live music.

This guy really is the blues business. If like me you love a bit of Joe Bonamassa this lad could well be Britain's answer. He has already mixed it with some of the biggest names in the business and came out shining brighter - definitely one for the future.

If I was Alan Hansen I would describe Tennessee 3 thus
"Legendary. Iconic. Influential. Tight. Superb."

Edwyn Collins has time and again proven himself as one of Scottish rock music's all-time greats, and moreover an honest and dedicated performer headstrong in his determination to do things his own way. Despite his continuing battles with poor health and still fighting back from the effects of a stroke he is back on the road doing what he does best. This is a fantastic opportunity to see a true master of his art in the intimate Lemon Tree Lounge.
I haven't even mentioned 1990s yet!
-
great gig not long off - the Faeries are guaranteed to put on a great show. If you haven't seen them already then what are you waiting for?!
-
cheeky bump to get this back up the list - great show showcasing that the Scottish music scene is thriving with representatives from Aberdeen, Glasgow and Dundee.
and it's just 7.15 (inc bf), 4.95 for you students and over 60s!

Fresh from supporting none other than Lynard Skynard on their UK tour, young UK blues sensation Aynsley Lister is coming to The Lemon Tree Lounge. Sounding somewhere between John Mayer and Joe Bonamassa, he switches effortlessly between blues-infused pop-rock and superb rock 'n' roll blues, packed with face-melting guitar solos (his MySpace shows both sides and is well worth checking out). In recent times he's had recording sessions with Bob Harris and Paul Jones and has previously opened for the likes of Robert Cray, John Mayall and Fun Lovin' Criminals.

The Tennessee 3 were the only band that the iconic and legendary Johhny Cash ever played or recorded with (okay, the second if you count The Tennessee 2 as a different group!), creating a sound and a style of playing that was to inspire a generation of musicians and attract listeners to country music who had never thought to tune in. A fantastic opportunity to hear these brilliant musicians in the intimate setting of The Lemon Tree Lounge.

A very special evening of music, bringing together Scottish rock's past and present in the from of Edwyn Collins and 1990s. The show recently played to a packed house as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A touching review by The Daily Telegraph is well worth a read.
This show is part of TuneUp Scotland 2009

We are delighted to announce that Carol Kidd, Scotland's First Lady of Jazz, will be taking to the Lounge stage to give what will no doubt be a spell-binding evening of jazz.

Ignore my avatar and user name for the moment! APA hat is taken off and put to the side.
I'm looking for a good mouth organ player, preferrably with a background in the blues, to work on track I've put together with my group Az-I Cool. There's a rough instrumental of the track up on our site, simply called 'Blues Groove', along with some other recordings we've done recently which will give a flavour of what we're about.
The track will feature two MCs (one French and one English) and our DJ doing some brilliant beat juggling of the main melody - it may also involve a sax player. Depending on ability and how much you're feeling the beat I'd be looking for someone to accentuate the main hook to give it that full-on blues feel and hopefully provide a small solo to add that icing to the cake.
If you are interested at all please contact me through Aberdeen-Music or via e-mail to azicool@rocketmail.com - we're a very flexible bunch and can easily fit ourselves around your schedule. All things going well we are looking to record this track in the near future. Copyright, etc, will be discussed in person.
