  1. Don't know if anyone has checked it out yet but the new website is up and running now.

    I think this is a great resource and I know a lot of people use it to decide what they are doing/seeing through the week, good work John.

    If you haven't checked it out do it now, its great.

    Shhhh! It's nae finished yet. Far from it. Heaps more to come!

    Cheers though :laughing:

  2. Likewise through the week we tend to shun activity nights like karaoke, pub quizzes, contests etc. We're a safe haven for people who just want to drink and listen to the jukebox.

    If only there were more places in town with this attitude ie no-nonsense places with music that the punters actually want to hear (or am I just being an idealist?)...

    A decent boozer/bar with decent tunes. Not rocket science...

    (I'm aware that there are a few places who do a sterling job by the way, not having a go at them)

  3. A much deserved bit of praise!!

    (Calling Aberdeen a 'musical backwater' was sweet, too).

    I disagree. Go to Middlesbrough, Stoke, Portsmouth, Plymouth and countless other cities in the UK and you'll see real musical 'backwaters'.

    We don't know how good we've got it.

    It's the constant, pointless comparisons with Glasgow/Edinburgh that bring us down.

    Rant Over.

  4. I'll tell you what I think:

    I think Aberdeen should buck the trend and do away with 'ranks' and all the negative connotations that the word 'rank' implies.

    Instead, we could be the first city to have 'Taxi Awesomes' which will have roofs and comfy seats and plasma tvs with a wide selection of movies and someone mixing mojitos while their colleague makes fresh, tasty but affordable Mexican food and ten pen bowling lanes and maybe a log flume.

    That's what I think.

  5. Looks like it's a script sending tweets on your behalf - Twitter-Train? "We may use your account to promote our services" :down:

    A change of password should do the trick for this one I think!

    Been noticing this kind of thing/hack a lot more of late, we haven't been affected as yet though.

    On a side note, it's pointless trying to 'gain followers' when it's just going to be random people, especially if you're going after a specific audience.

    For the record, it's been really good for us and can be just as important as the site at times (albeit it reaches a much smaller audience, but they tend to be the type of people we're after.)

    We're here by the way:

  6. It all seems to have gone very quiet regarding the Tivoli since the new ownership.

    Yeah, I knew I should have gone to see The Tivoli at last year's Open Doors Day. Damn. Didn't realise that it would be taken off the list after being bought (understandable though).

    Now it'll probably take forever until they sort out the cash/paperwork/logistics of the refurbishment, then another year or so to get it done (If it gets done that is).

    Hope so though, I've never been inside the damn place!
