Fish out of water Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Morning peeps,Absolutely nothing to do with Aberdeen I know. However, there are obvious repercussions for Aberdeen bands playing there should the venues have to close:Evening Times: NewsIts gonna leave a hell of a dent in soap dodger territory if they do close.

Mr Owl PhD Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 That's quite worrying. I was in Mono today. It's a great place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I like Mono for the record shop....the food's pretty decent too. I also like the 13th note. Hopefully they'll survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Von Mondragon Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I thought I had heard a gnashing and wailing sound out my window, of teeth, of hipsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish out of water Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Indeed. I'll be gnashing my teeth too right enough as I'm gigging at 3 of those venues in the next 6 weeks.In addition, one of my locals The 78 (the old Stereo) is also affected, didn't bother mentioning it earlier as it doesn't do gigs now.

And I've also enjoyed the gigs I've been to at Stereo and 13th Note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Von Mondragon Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I like the 13th Note best out of the (potentially) affected venues, and, naturally, approve of music venues on principle, but if repeated liquidation to avoid debts is the dudes business plan, then a)Many people will be rightly well pissed off at someone serially avoiding payments that everyone else has to make, and b) He just deserves to close, yes I mean morally speaking. Music is full of rapacious robber barons some on a large scale, some just wee, just because its a creative venture does not free it of responsibility...blah blah pontificate.

Fish out of water Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Yeah, agreed. I think its taking the piss really.It's got me thinking though - Glasgow has FAR too many venues and all it does is serve to dilute an already paltry gigging crowd.We could do with losing agood few. But not Stereo, me likey Stereo. much more than Tuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
