Frosty Jack Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Originally posted by Ross:Aww.... I was looking forward to some Mandalin action... The correct term is of course poofbat...Unfortunately as the band now have barely a liver left between them a return is not on the cards. Funnily enough I was speaking to Simon LemonTree about the very same thing nobbut two nights ago, and he was being very persuasive indeed. But no. None of ver kids nowadays would give a monkeys anyways. It's all floppy fringes and angst these days isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there is, but personally I was never really much of a folkie so wouldn't really know. I'm sure Bodhisattvostsit or others would probably know more about it than me. I'm hearing good things about Pottedheid these days though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordred Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 God i used to love The Loreli, both albums were amazing.Infact i think i'll hunt out my Progression long sleave and listen to the albums again I quite like The Tinderbox (The Dreaming) album too.

flossie suvara Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Satan would indeed be skating to work the day the Lorelei reform - even for the levellers - for many reasons which I won't elaborate on, but one which I will is geography. One member of the Lorerei is now in London, and another in Dundee, so logistically it's impossible.The folk scene in Aberdeen is still, as far as I'm aware, very healthy. The last I heard, the folk club met in one of the pubs on the castlegate, but I'm afraid I don't know which one.There are several traditional music sessions to be had however. Tuesday evening - The GlobeWednesday evening - bar at the Prince Regent (so I've heard, never been)Sunday evening - The Prince of WalesLast Friday of every Month - Woodend barn, BanchoryI believe there is also a session at the Blue Lamp, on a Monday I think, but again I've never been.The Globe and Prince Regent sessions are frequented by a lot of people from the SCAT classes.http://www.scat2000.co.ukA fantastic resource for anyone interested in traditional scottish/irish/celtic sessions can be found athttp://www.thesession.orgRegardsFlossie Suvara (getting chufties from this thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest highroller Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 now if One God Universe were to reform...that would be AWESOME!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragudave Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Which band did Wendy Frenzy - was that The Dreaming, Loreli(sp?), or one of the other early 90s bands who used to play Union Terrace Gardens ? I seem to remember them doing a sheep song - a la Levelllers meets Lawnmower Deth.Now if Loveless were to reform The Liars and Mogwai would be shaking in their boots:up: Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Loveless were literally awesome, blew everyone away every time. There was a lot of amazing stuff going on then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Found Power Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't Suvara Lorelei 2.0 anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest highroller Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Also the Aberdeen footie player had links with OGU, he played some adtional percussion on the album!! They were worthy of Huge things!! I listen to mine every now and again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Originally posted by New Found Power:correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't Suvara Lorelei 2.0 anyway? NO!Definitely not. Some members of Suvara were in the Lorelei, but they are very different bands. Different songwriters, different style. Please don't make that connection, we never have and really don't want to. Anyway, we're changing the name soon, and keeping Suvara as an acoustic only offshoot. Not saying what the new name will be though, so hopefully we can be judged on our own merits. That's very important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
