I'm sure it's been said in this thread before, but even some drinks promos or something similar to attract a few extra people in would surely benefit the venue?

Essentially unless there's a gig on someone really wants to see, people aren't going to stumble by and decide they fancy it. Although it's in the centre of town it's kind of awkward to get to and there's no mobile phone signal down there (which I'm sure plays a part). To top it off, you have to spend ~3 on a bad pint.

I Agree with this 100%, Its a good venue for room sound if the Sound guy is good! But its not a "Passing By" Kind of place! I had to change my pint of stella last week cause it tasted of "Off white wine" but the next pint was equally as bad! But it cost me 3 so it went down the hatch!

I'm not going to just wander down and see whats on because it might be something I don't like, or it might not even be open!

Its really not a place much folk walk past! And its pretty dodgey down there aswell!

Drummonds and Tunnels is both run by the same people! They need to get their act together! I dont know if they do it with all promoters. I can imagine they have their favourites!

Duck Duckgoose Promotions?

Not quite, But i like it! haha Catchy.

Daily Dischord Promotions dude

The management in Tunnels and Drummonds has went completely down the drain recently!

Announcing they are only letting Over 18 bands play?! Thats not very good for young up and coming bands in the area is it?

Also as a promoter, trying to run a gig at Tunnels or drummonds is a joke. I pay 60 to hire the venue out but still the management want a massive input into my line up. Im paying for the venue so what bands i choose is up to me! If they want an input they can give me the venue for free!

I recently had to cancel a pretty big gig i had coming up, because they never liked my line up. I never got the band they wanted to play main support because they would bring the most over 18s to the venue! Im sorry but if one of the management say its an Over 14's then 2 weeks later tell me the gig is an over 18s because of my line up is a fucking shambles! They cant communicate with each other obviously.

There for finding new or old venues in aberdeen who are more in for the music that the bar profits will suit me better. I realise the place need to sell some drinks, but i cant seriously help it if there is 16 year olds there for the music and some over 18 year olds dont want to drink! The should be running a pub, Not a music venue!

Done

I would be very interested in running gigs here. But what would be the story with a sound guy? And would yous look into buying a proper PA system for the venue after a while?

Cheers
