The Milner Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Will there be a drumkit there or is it more aimed towards acoustic stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the malt mill Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 aimed towards acoustic stuff at the moment , only due to the fact we do not have a drum kit. i am looking to have someone on hand with a drum kit who is able to also do workshops with drummers.......... watch this space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played my very first ever gig in the Malt Mill, got kick off stage after 3 songs mind, but still i got my breakthrough there!!

Alan Cynic Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 not the best time for me, due to fitba' infatuation, but I hope this does well, as the Malt Mill has a lot of potential. Have played there a few times in the past, and recall it being hoaching at weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundian Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 THE FIRST EVER SATURDAY AFTERNOON JAM SESSIONS IN ABERDEEN Maybe I'm showing my age here, but no it isn't. I probably subjected the unwitting citizens of Aberdeen to my first public display of bass ineptitude at the long-running Drift Inn Saturday afternoon jam sessions.

the malt mill Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 i do apologise for the slightly sloppy organisation, but i do not have control over the webspace or have the ability to get the site removed from the net .it was set up by previous owners a few years back! im sorry to hear you tried to organise something here and got no response. the contact number and address are correct at least ! the current correspondence email ismaltmill@hotmail.co.ukI am showing my age here by saying .. But I think the drift in sessions were before my time never mind before my time ive lived in Aberdeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
