Cloud Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 the moorings is actually quite nice yeah take that back, but i do prefer playing in the venues much nearer union street, like tunnels or drummonds, i turned down a gig in east neuk, coz i feel like im gonna get an STI just from being there!Come on, what's the distance from Union Street to the Moorings? It's about a 3 minute walk at the most...and you're always guaranteed an audience in The Moorings, unlike Drummonds or Tunnels.I notice that you're actively looking for gigs by including that (Gigs?) next to your band name...might be wise not to slag off other venues if you're actively looking for them rather than the gigs coming to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 have you ever actually been to the east neuk? cos theres fuck all wrong with it. and the manager is pretty down to earth with alot fo the gigs that go on.and the moorings is one of the best venues. christ, you even get cost price drink if you're playing!I hope the rest of your band know you've just shot them all in the foot.

framheim Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 i dont know what ur on about, i see you have negative rep points to, think you should be careful what your saying, i just said something a little stupid, your going about like you own the place, and personal prefence, i dont like the mooringsaren't you in a metal band? surely the moorings is the best venue for you starting out. and the east neuk gigs would be handy for supports too but i guess you've scuppered that.moorings also has the best range of beers in aberdeen, bar none.

Flash@TMB Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 We're a whole 200 yards from Union Street! It's even worse on the way back as EVERY SINGLE STEP is uphill. The Tunnels is closer... but only if you dig I'm glad you don't like the bar because that would indicate that we have been successful in targeting the correct demographic.

Only ever had one gig there (dont think we were allowed back haha) but really is brilliant place for a gig. As im sure 95% of this forum will agree with!

Captain America Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 ...but... East Neuk is clean now... Yeah, it's really quite nice small venue now after it got "done up", for lack of a better phrase. It's smaller and is better for gigs now.Still, dinnae drink from the taps. Very drunk, very fast.

Guest treader. Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 the aberdeen scene died with drakes IMO. (well not really, but i definitely preferred it then...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 the scene was great when drakes was around, but it flourished after drakes closed in terms of bands, people putting on gigs and press etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe by posting constructive rebuttals, he might give the East Neuk/Moorings another shot.And anyway, you do enough whining when you get negative reputation points.

lovers_spit Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 and a bit of a dick.Yes, we've established the comment was unnescasary and that I over reacted. I apologised, and though that doesnt make it right, theres hardly anything else I can do about it now is there? So it would be appreciated if you just dropped it.
