Jim Gellatly

I was wondering what all the bad-mouthing of Estrella was all about. I'd never heard of them so thought i'd do a Youtube search.....

Hmmm. That doesn't really do them any favours. Saw them in Glasgow last week by the way. Very poor turn-out, but thought they were really good. Need a lot of work to get away from the cheesy thing but a huge worldwide market for this sort of stuff... Need to watch they don't take themselves too seriously as well, which I think they may be at the moment. Stick by what I said in the paper really.

As for Estrella, it's their idea of promotion above everything else that winds me up. Looking back on their posts on this site for example, there is absolutely no engagement whatsoever. Every post is a plug for something, I've never seen any discussion, comment, even the slightest bit of chat or response to anything. Even this very thread, = plug, couple of replies, including me saying they make me physically ill, response = another plug.

Agree. You do need to engage... even if painful.

I remember doing some god awful showcase gig at the Lemon tree in the early 90s and we were given afternoon workshops where "A northsound DJ will be available to constructively criticise your band"....all it was was the green haired fat bloke from one up slagging off everyones band...

Really?

Everyone on here loves Jim. Well maybe not.

I stayed in Glasgow for years and had to endure him on Clyde. His opinions are never relevant and always feels like I must confirm to the fore mentioned.

Since up this neck of the woods the drive back up is ruined because AMP had been replaced by Jim fumbling over crap music.

In the last few weeks the Noel Gallagher and his high flying birds promotion cuts thin for me.

Conform to what you have been lead to think what people want.

As for you guys, I hope it goes well

Hmmm... You lived in Glasgow for years and had to endure me on Clyde? I've only been there 18 months!

Hmm
