Glasgow was chosen because lots of bands they liked came from this city and everybody from their schools went to Edinburgh and the last thing they wanted was to do what everybody else was doing. www.thenewrosyjewels.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I can't remember the last time i enjoyed a gig in aberdeen that much. Good to see le reno amps back and as good as ever.

chilli Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 yes it was excellent last night & very wonderful too see Scott playing music again, le reno amps score a mighty 7 on the THOMAS TRUAX scale of 10. Alamos & Luxury Car both a very creditible 6 & we stood at the bar for the 1st band, coz we easily recognised what they have been influenced by, a sluggish 2.ps interesting music promoted last night in conjunction with go north, good to see people come out for the show. We also promoted the event in the church with michael marra & le reno amps. (true to say that both artists said it was their best ever gigs in Aberdeen)Its friday & tonight @ the tunnels we present:- Hookers Green No1 (very encouraging reviews of new cd & good airplay)Electric Tibet (the comeback gig prepare to be surrised & hopefully amazed)The A Forest from Dundee (will surprise & delight)dj Nick Hookerdoors 8pmDoor tax 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
