Just Matt

Sorry to all .....bit of a timewaster I'm afraid. The costs are getting a bit crazy so I don't think this is the year for this. I don't want this to be half assed so I'm going to delay and put something bigger and more memorable together when I can. Thanks for all the replies and interest.

Any genre possibly imaginable is welcome, I've had a huge mix in the response so far (no blues yet any takers??). I'll give you a shout Emma

For knowing dick all about rugby that's a fair team. You've got a hell of alot of experienced heads in that line up, plus a coke head with Matt Stevens! As much as it pains me to say it England may have a good tournament.

Hi Chris just PM'd you

If there is a chance I can throw my hat in the ring then please consider me I'll P.M you with more details

Face book page for the Auld Mannie Facebook Page is up The Auld Mannie | Facebook Early stages yet so more info will go up

Totally agree with that! I was looking at toilet hire when I was getting the place ready for my wedding,not cheap!! I am 100% committed to getting toilets installed but with a 9 to 5 and 0 in my budget right now I really could not guarantee when they will be built. But this does take me back to my point of this will be cheap to hire as there will obviously be other things required I'm thinking if anyone is interested right now I would offset costs based on the hire on and supply of extras. I really can't stress enough I'm looking pretty much non profit for the time being I just want to get the word of mouth advertising up and running till I'm in a postion to make the place my career. I need to to get some proof out now before I start sounding desperate so I'll get these photos out ASAP

Thanks for the info Daveofficer I would like to one day see the place as my job but I'm going to take a causious toe dip into this. The venue is part of my home so losing it and failing means losing everything. I plan to span alot requirements the place can cover weddings,art exhibitions, theatre.....in fact the list is pretty endless! On the legal side i've got a ton of research to do what with license and liabilty, but for the time being I would need promoters and organisers to provide their own hence the near freebie invite of use for now. Watch this space I'll get a facebook page up quite soon so anyone interested can get all contact and location details plus I'll put tons of photos up of the place

Sorry that would help! Venue is 2 Seperate Rooms -Stage room Stage (roughly 4m x 2.5m with raised drummer area) Dance floor Space 8m x 4m...ish Whiskey barrel tables with bar stools seating for about 9 people House drum kit House PA system -Bar Area 3m Bar equiped with optics (as yet no license I'm looking in to this but right now as I'm not looking to make money I would advise a mobile license) Tradional ale pump(only set up for home brew right now) 3xFridge Space Ice Freezer Seating and tables for roughly 50 people Also external seating,patio area and external trdional woodfire italian pizza oven. Parking space for 15 cars(perhaps more I have never really tested that). ******Important note!!!!! There are no public toilets as yet, again because I am not looking to make this a professional venture as yet I can not afford to install any, so mobile toilets would be needed for events.****** I'll get photos on, I can email them to anyone who is interested in the meatime

Hi Folks I have a venue available for use, near Turriff. I converted a barn for my wedding and now I am left with a great venue for gigs that needs to be used. At this early stage I'm not really looking to make much money on it just get word of mouth out of its availabilty and potenial. Any kind of charge would be based on what kind of event was going on It's out of the way a bit but is a great rustic place full of character. I'm open to suggestions. Please get in contact if you are interested and want to use it

These are still going 16.50 each 23rd at the lemon tree. can sell as a pair.

4 Laura Marling tickets up for grabs Face value(can't rememeber what it is) Can't make it as Ms Marling has kindly re-scheduled on my wedding day!

Hi Tubby, sorry I'm the worlds worst replyer. I'll send you an email before the weekends up

Hi I'm a relatively inexperienced drummer staying near turriff. I'm looking for like minded folk for jamming and who knows a gig or two maybe. I love to play to the blues and its many bastard offspring music genres. Influences ... Black Keys, Zeppelin, John lee Hooker,etc, etc your fairly standard mix of blues and rock. I also have a great love of folk, in particular US folk but also Scottish roots too. If anyone is interesetd in throwing any or all of this about the place give me a shout. I'm early 30's just to warn any young folk who may get scared away by a near middle aged dude trying to reclaim his youth ( no touching jokes please!) The reason I'm looking for chaps and chappettes in North Aberedeenshire is coz I come with the added bonus of a free venue so I would like to have jams/practice sessions up in Turra Anyways enough waffling.

Hi I'm looking to book a band for mid July. It is for my wedding, the band I was hoping on look like they are falling through. I'm looking for something in the region of a blues band with folky, blugrassy roots with an abilty to rock. I'm struggling as all I can find to book for weddings are cheesy cover bands that try too hard and lack anything different or interesting ( no offence to anyone out there doing that, maybe I'm looking in the wrong places) Anyways it is a barn style dance based near turriff, My budget is tight to warn you before any offers come in. Although I can offer a FREE bar to the whole band as long as you don't get too wasted and fall of the stage mid set. Any suggestions or offers will be trully welcomed Thanks Matt
