jester1470 Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Come on guys get some tickets, this is the kind of thing The North East has been crying out for, its starting off small but could become a really good event if we actually get some support, with decent ticket sales this year we can start looking for much better and bigegr acts for next year and the plan id to give more Aberdeen acts the chance to get involved.

Snowdog Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Must say i'm surprised at the lack of response in Aberdeen to this gig. I've heard of people coming from Edinburgh, Dunfermline, Manchester and other places. I can't wait!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyboy Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 I agree snowdog, especially with the line up of Aberdeen bands as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didz Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Some people might simply just have more important and better things to go to, can't blame them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted June 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Some people might simply just have more important and better things to go to' date=' can't blame them![/quote']Aberdeen fans in general are hugely apathetic and then are the first to complain nothing ever happens, ask Ross at moshulu about this, people complain about not getting gigs up here, well this is why, the line up may not be to everyones taste but theres a lot of different styles of band there and the atmosphere should be brilliant, this is a trial run really, if this works next year we get bigger and better bands, but even T in the Park started small, this could become a great thing and a chance for Aberdeen acts to play a big stage with some bigger acts. It would be great to see a bit more support.I should have mentioned and this alone is worth the price of admission, that firm music scene favourite and much missed chap Mr Del Franklin is compering the event in a rare trip over from ireland !! People should come just to say hello to del, thats worth 20, you can go and watch him get progressively more drunk all evening...CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didz Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Fair enough, but think of the amount of people that have holidays coming up, other festivals and other shit. I've got a stagger that weekend but if not i probably wouldn't have went anyway as i can't justify paying around 75+ (ticket,booze,travel) when there aren't any bands that excite me. Other people may be in the same boat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Bump, it's drawing nearer and it should be a great day out...CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Regarding the comments about this show not selling well in Aberdeen, would the fact that the main headliners are playing in Aberdeen the next night not have something to do with it?Just a thought.
