northcountrygirl Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Haha, its going to be very hard to find something decent going on in Aberdeen this year ... hmm, if you're thinking down the ceildh line, I'd start looking round some of the hotels now and start booking early, places always fill up fast. I know down in Cove, the local hotel puts a buffet on and they have a disco on in the restaurant - the table you book is yours for the night. Was really successful last year but be warned, it did attract a lot of the older generation. The public bar is next door but there's nothing on in there but the atmosphere and the banter in there hogmanay night is immense, everyone mixes and auld lang syne is sang not too long after the bells. It is a little bit out of the city centre tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I believe there is a ceilidh at Pittodrie every year. I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeno Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm fancying edinburgh not for the tattoo but for a club night I lived in Edinburgh for over 18 years. The street party is crap in my experience so clubs are definitely the way forward, or just getting pissed at a mates house. That's always good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Jo-D Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I have spent the last few NY's at friends houses and think it's time to do something again! Not been to the street party but it doesn't seem appealing. I knwo a few people who live in Edinburgh so reckon a few house visits would be included somewhere!!James Zabiela is playing which is noice!

Adam Easy Wishes Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 You should get one of those lamps that shower you in intense light and have a light party. Either that or wheel it around town with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinnell Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'm going to the Thistle Hotel in Altens this year. For 100 you get a massive meal, ceileadh and a night in the hotel. Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen council should stop wasting money on Sandi Thom and build a giant halogen bulb array to bathe us in happiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
