Jim Stax Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Actually the reverse worked a bit for Alyssa's Wish.....it was like 100 degrees outside and they sell beer in the Tbreak tent....They don't sell beer in the T Break anymore, must have been a one off. Festival layout is different now and the T Break tent is way down the bottom beside the cows and not near anywhere else, not too far from a beer tent like. Needless to say that it will be different again this year. Mucho complaing last year apparently.J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundian Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Either no Aberdeen/Inverness etc bands entered or it's gone as I predicted when they scrapped the regional heats, central belt bias big style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe all the central belt bands are incredibly good...but if they are I'll eat my hat.Who really knows about the selection but if it is some regional biais then it's a really poor show.Surely there must be a few decent Aberdeen bands at the moment. I'm surprised if not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betamax Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 It's probably down to a lack of Aberdeen bands entering.I forgot to send a CD didnt I?I knew there was something I had to do....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
