CamilleY Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I had a great time, though the turn out was a bit poor. Is the drummer actually from Aberdeen or was that just bollocks ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drummer is from Aberdeen, a former Grammar School pupil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I'd have said the turn out was pretty good' date=' "acceptable" in the words of Lemon Tree marketing man. The drummer[b'] is from Aberdeen, a former Grammar School pupil.Yeah a great gig, four amazing musicians (all very talented, but i thought the bass player was particularly good and possibly the element that more than any other lifted them above most less accessible contemporary jazz). Hopefully we'll get them up again to a bigger audience, but as Graeme says I don't think the attendance was too disappointing and, according to the Sax player, pretty much the same as they'd had in Glasgow the night before. There's usually going to be a pretty limited audience for something as avante garde - though I did hope their <i>Later...</i> appearance might have made for even better ticket sales.Anyway thanks to all who came along and contributed to a very memorable night.

Jamie Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 I like your stealth, buzzword Marketing Chilli, but I reckon it's time to unleash the details to the good people who have contributed to this post? It's been in the e-mail informer and the brochure will be out by Wednesday (not in the post - that'll be a few days later - but at the venue) so no need to hold back methinks:Interesting Music Promotions present: Homespun featuring FOUND & Radio Magnetic SoundsystemSaturday 17 September 2005Studio Theatre Tickets 3 Doors Open: 8.30pmShow Starts: 9pmSince the beginning of 2005, an ensemble of southern dwelling musicians and artists, calling themselves FOUND, have been grooving heads left, right and centre with their unique blend of visual art and music. In fact, they've already made such an impact that the PRS Foundation have decided to award FOUND the prestigious 'Live Connections Award' to stage this one off multi-media event. For this specially commissioned performance FOUND will set about hand crafting 200 CD covers using sewing machines, staplers, guillotines, stencils . .. they will sample and loop the sounds made by these devices to form a livemusical composition into which they will incorporate their own songs. Oncefinished they will burn 200 CD-Rs of the performance, slot them neatly intothe handmade sleeves and distribute them for free to everyone who attends. Or at least, that's the plan!While FOUND are bustin... their onions duplicating 200 CDs, Glasgow's finest, the Radio MagneticSound System will entertain the crowd with a specially prepared interactive DJ set. And all of this for only 3!!!www.surfacepressure.co.uk/foundwww.prsfoundation.co.ukwww.radiomagnetic.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Sounds interesting to me! The first time PRS have made this award in Scotland I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
