its a constant fight for bands and groups that are stuck up here, many groups either gig down south for more exsposure. many have resources for posters cover art etc etc, but few actually share this with the younger generation, ian sinclair was very helpful with young enthusiastic groups who didnt have a clue what recording was about. but many nowadays wont touch a group unless they know whats what. you cant even play a small town gig, or garden gig without a mountain of permission slips and ass kisses. i dont see greatness, i see a constant struggle for basic rights and leisures. its not just the young generation, many of the pioneers of thurso and caithness music scene are pushed to the back.
dave is standing in for isaac. he is stratman on the org.
okaay did you think that maybe not everyone involved has an email adress.
i have things to do this week, so anyone that could send me the flipping details would be helping.
i will hunt everyone down at some point but i dont have time.
most of them use phones anyway.
i appreciate the feedback but i swear next year im going to avoid this forum like the plague.
THATS what would make my job easier.
btw cheers to the groups who sent me emails with the info and didnt question, analyze or over criticise. thats not me being bitchy just saying that some of you are too inquizitive for MY own good lol
