tariq Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 We are an American rootsy/blues/rock band called Majnun. We can be heard at Majnunband.com. We are invited to play a gig at the Findhorn Foundation(somewhere near Inverness) in May or June, but we'll need some other local gigs to make it financially feasible (we're 8/9 people). Does anybody have any recommendations? We already received a polite and clear refusal from the Lemon Tree. Any bookers out there? Any bands out there who would be interested in playing with us somewhere?We do have a good friend in Scotland who would do a lot of the footwork for us. Thanks everybody for your help.Tariq BrownIllinois USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calum Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 what do you mean 8/9 members?Maybe one of them knows that Findhorn is backofbeyondsville and so isn't sure. I've only been there once. It was late summer and it was chucking down fucking hailstones. 'Twas a fun day out for all the family! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
