The Milner Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 In theory a promoter should be booking a band that he/she knows is half decent, but the reality is a lot different! The amount of times I've seen an absolutely terrible local support (not just in Aberdeen) that doesn't fit the bill or audience at all, with no audience of their own, is pretty shocking.It is a risk though! Bands can be pretty clueless, it's not a given that their friends and family will come along (they might not even have many friends!), so it's obviously a risk. I could just make up a band with no recordings, book a gig, and spend the duration of my 'set' picking my nose and polishing my shoes, and not bring along any friends/family. Like I said before, it's still a risk booking a new band that has a demo (being that bands can vary A LOT between the live/recorded domains), it's just not as much of a risk as booking a band who don't have anything at all.Also, please don't pull the 'vast experience' thing, it's a bit patronising!you speak rubbish.Anyway do you not know how old graeme c is?? He's practically the aberdeen music grandfather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side, at least no one can ever take your big badness away from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASFG Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 At this stage further details are still sketchy. We can tell you we're called Albyn School for Girls and that our debut gig is on Saturday the 18th of October @ The Moorings Bar and that everything I've said in this thread about the band is dead-on-balls-accurate.Hopefully some of you can make the gig.
