There's not much they can do about search engine rankings especially with two common words like go and north. Searching for gonorth works though. There's a small group of people, don't know who, that listen to the demos. Obviously it's not just about demos though. The whole point of GoNorth is to entice record company and media types to Aberdeen, so having a press launch in Edinburgh, which is close to Glasgow, makes a certain kind of sense, since most of the national (Scottish) record company and media people are based there. And that's why it's not just about the demos, to get these people to come, they have to provide bands that there's an industry "buzz" about, otherwise , like most people, they just won't bother going to see a bunch of bands they've never heard of.

jester1470 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I've been one of the biggest detractors of GoNorth the past few years but at least this year they do seem to have picked a better selection of bands that have actually been working to achieve something. Hopefully this year as well, all the bands playing actually submitted. CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it just reinforces my opinion on GoNorthWhat a shame they haven't learned since last year, and again decide to shit on anyone who actually submitted a demo. At the meeting held after last GoNorth debacle we were promised this was not the case and the only exceptions were the younger bands, well it would seem yet again we are lied to and GoNorth have learned nothing. As I said, a shame if this is the case because the line up seems to be good, but imo no-one should be getting in if they cant be arsed to submit.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
