Rachie Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 If that is the case and Tsunami aid is no longer accepting donations then that doesn't mean people shouldn't still support this gig. The famine in Ethiopia has been going on for over 20 years now and if anything is getting worse - a gig like this should have taken place ages ago, and not just once either.Persevere guys, it would be a real shame to see this fall through. I'm sure that once confirmed as going ahead if everyone pulls together we could easily generate the interest for tickets that an event like this so deserves.

jester1470 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Perhaps the drop in support is because it's now 3 1/2 months since the disaster' date=' and peoples attention has moved on? Not having a go - I think it's great that you're all getting of your arses and doing something, but maybe some speedier organisation would have helped.[/quote']Well the original plan was to have the gig a lot quicker and use a named band, but because we couldnt get a a named band as eveyone was doing some kind of tsunami thing, the format was changed and we went with a chance to showcase local bands and give them a chance to play one of aberdeen's finest venues.and for a good cause, it would be great if the bands that are going, could send me theirsets (only 3 have done so so far) and could start speaking to their fans via these boards, mailing lists whatever, to make this a success, we have newspaper coverage next week and hope that sales will come in then.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachie Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 If you want me to make up some posters to save Ross having to pay the printers, then I prolly could do that...If I could get use of a photocopier it might help though...

babykarma Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 If you update the baby karma website before the gig it might be worth adding it to the site. If someone designs a poster(should point out it would have to black and white because the colour copies are a bit pricey for me to afford...being poor student and all ) I can get some copies made at uni, and I'm happy to put them up in the music shops etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
