Hey, I just think if The Moorings format was followed, it would be a bit more successful. The Moorings organise bands months in advance and produce quality posters that look really cool and are plastered eveywhere. Drummonds is in an ideal location for bands, so it could clearly capitalise on this location and make more money. Its disappointing, if it is true, to hear that people can walk in free. Thats piss poor management and can be sorted. Tunnels is in a really shit location therefore NEEDS TO BE advertised otherwise noone will know apart from the bands and ppl who visit aberdeen music will turn up. Easy for me to say, i dont have to organise this, but I do practise with my band all the time so it is miles better knowing who your playing with and having an idea if it will be busy. Pretty much 75% time i know a drummonds or tunnels gig will be dead, but its really good fun playing live and great practise and i enjoy seeing other bands so its cool i guess. Also Drummonds and Tunnels need a maintenance guy for the drums just to keep on top of tuning, heads, the actual gear, simple things like, cymbal sleeves to protect (expensive) cymbals, and then to recommend if new equipment is needed. I dont know who does the moorings, but that kit seems to be in a stable condition everytime so its obviously looked after to a degree - good work. maybe employ this person?! Anyway, thats my rant.
