jcn Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Quick catch-up for anyone who hasn't heard the news....Sir Ian Wood plans to create a new civic square in Union Terrace Gardens which would put the whole area up to street level. Unfortunately, this would mean the loss of Union Terrace Gardens in its current form, with parts of ancient forests, mature trees and a natural ampitheatre. Peacock Visual Arts have planning permission for a new arts centre in the same space that would rejuvenate the area but would leave the gardens intact. Further info:Compare the Square. The options for Union Terrace GardensAre you a musician? Are you in a band? If you support keeping Union Terrace Gardens I would like to consider donating a track to our compilation CD. All donated tracks can be submitted via Fiona's soundcloud account or via email: carmichaeljayne@hotmail.comCheersJayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Stax Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Me thinks I will write something scathing for this. Darn, I've raised the bar and have now doomed myself to fail miserably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Of course, nothing improves trees like a concrete drapery, or a light dusting of oligarch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 if we donated a track it would probably undermine the whole venture. good work though jayne! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 "We'd rather love than have to hate...the Oligarchs head served aawwwn a plaaeeeateuh"****this bit Jaggeresque**Legal Note, any talk of dead Oligarchs is purely a Creative response of the Imagination, and should in no way be seen as advocating violence against any individual, even if they harbour megalomaniacal plans of destruction.

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I do actually have some 'music' that I could re-name, although I'd understand If you would rather steer clear of the Oligarch Hanging theme, he could pay legions of lawyers. Will add a link later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
