jester1470 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I feel that since this has only been mentioned in a couple of threads that it should be brought to the wider populous, Alan will be playing his last Aberdeen gig on the 16th June at Drummonds as the Kitchen Cynics and as the Aberdeen Music Scene wouldn't be the same without the sporadic Kitchen Cynics gigs. I'm, hoping people will join with me and try and convince him to continue playing live as the Kitchen Cynics, forever and ever... Don't stop playing live Alan we will miss KC gigs hugely... The Kitchen Cynics have for quite a while been the only band that i'm not involved with that I will make the effort to go to as many gigs as possible nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost Of Fudge Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 first i've heard, but best of luck! though i do hope for the occasional live Cynics foray from time to time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'm still hoping to get coax him back into live work with my Jim Reeves tribute act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 make it a jimmy nail tribute act and I bet he'll be there in a flashI'm sure we could chuck Crocodile Shoes and Ain't No Doubt into the set. Alan could do the "she's lying" bits. In fact we could just make it a "Jim" tribute act, doing songs by famous Jims, like Jimmy Rogers, Jimmy Cliff and, er, Jimmy Sommerville. Pretty sure Roger McGuinn's real name is Jim so we can sneak a few Byrds tunes in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF Scott Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Damn, will try and get to this show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Bigsby was right...it was a kind of hissy fit Too many recent gigs when I cock up the tuning etc I'm still doing Matricarians ones, and will weave a few more Kitchen Cynics songs into the sets. I might well do some solo ones in the future, but using a different name/songs.The very last K Cynics one will be in Glasgow, early July, for an Ivor Cutler tribute at Oran Mor (or maybe at Elvis Shakespeare in Edinburgh if they follow up on a loose offer to do an instore there in Summer).

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I just hope that Alan keeps performing live in some sort of fashion. Every time I have seen him has been very enjoyable to say the least, and I don't like anything apparently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 You shall always have my support Alan. Not many people can write (a decent) song every day for one year! A true gent of the local scene.All the best Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Stax Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I suppose there is only so long one can wait to get a rock n roll stalker, opportunity to trash a hotel room and be surrounded by hot young groupies. I would say that it is purely geography that prevented any of these things Alan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 The contours of my face???Cheers all......(especially that loveable Humey!). I'm still doing Matricarians ones though, so you won't totally see the back of me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Majesty Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 out of touch...Wow, the end of KC!? I feel proud to have played live and recocorded with yah!

Scorge Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Not sure I'll make it to the last KC gig, but can't help but say one of the true gents' of the scene taking a backwards step makes me slightly sad.All the best to you Alan.

Alan Cynic Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Thank you, Scorge.....appreciated. I'll still be recording as K Cynics, but only doing live Matricarians ones.Wow, the end of KC!? I feel proud to have played live and recocorded with yah! Plus I got a song written about me, fab! There's only one Alan Davidson!!! 8-)You're on the latest CD-R ('Disconnected').....I found some rehearsal ones we did, and added bits to them, so your slide guitar can be heard nicely on 'Now's the time/clear rinnin' burnie'. I had an even better version with lovely strings from Beth & Duncan and equally good slide from yourself, but I lost it when my computer crashed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
