this forum sucks, i now officially retire from this so called "musicians forum"
bunch of stuck up fools, with rubbish ideals and rubbish morals.
stuck in the seventies and eighties with disillusioned newcomers.
thats barring (killarifts, docrock, and possibly clash 67, he fights for a good cause.)
but the rest of you are bossy stuck up people. god, i dont think i have ever been so disgusted by a forum in my ENTIRE LIFE.
your either self indulgent, or so negative or selfish that well.....well im not sure where im going with this but i guess i just think you all suck.
seriously, your no help, and this is by far the worst forum ever. and i refuse to have anything to do with it. not that, it really matters but none the less its a decent declaration.
TOODLES YOU STUCK UP MUSO'S

Would be really interested to know!
Yes, I feel partly resposible for K Dragons previous outburst. He always appeared to be easily offended or rubbed up the wrong way (a true sensitive artistic type no doubt!!)
I did raise an eyebrow (or two) when I discovered that he was taking over the running of the Big Gig event from Googglebox (who is a high energy, hyper, type individual).
From my limited experience of running the Edge of the World Music Festival (EOTW) for 7 years running some time ago (1991 - 1997), one's personality needs to be VERY robust with lots of entheusiastic energy etc.
Somehow K Dragon never struck me as this type of individual. He appeared to bemoan most of the Caithness music scene and most of its participants (that contributed to the org anyway).
I hope I'm very wrong and wish him all the best with the big gig venture which I witnessed first hand last year (and brought back lots of good AND bad memories of the EOTW type gig):eek:
still believe he's looking for a drummer as well:lol:
the roster for friday and saturday still have free slots so any bands wanting to play pm me please.
thanks
You could always try The Police? They're reforming in May, just in time for the summer festival season. I'll see if I can get you Sting's number.
All you need now is Bertie McLeod on the knuckleduster and Scott 'tiptoes' Wordie on the rubber bass, and yer set. Forget Walking On The Moon - how about Your Feet Not Touchin' Eh Grun' Until You Get To Olrig Street Cop Shop.
these are the ones that are "confirmed"
friday night:
Colin
High Voltage
Waffles
Redwall
saturday:
Stevie Taylor
Duress
Empty Fortune
Astronot
need more for both nights.
im pretty sure that red wall aren't a band any more.
I'm pretty sure that decision hasn't been made yet.
Are On Honre gonna play cmack?
nuh red wall are still together though the only original red wall member still in the band now is the guitarist, they have got a replacement bassist and drummer. :D
aw rite, i wasnt too sure about that.
yeh i just found out we are down for playing on friday for now.
does anyone know what dates it is actualy on?
10th and 11th im told
Redwall are still on the go,got Demo comin out soon and have no plans of callin it a day.
Andy - Redwall
whos ure bassist and drummer andy?
lets get more bands from wick involved!!
there was more from wick but two have pulled out due to members travelling
Cullbucket,
Yes, I was at that one also. It wasn't an EOTW event - just the same production/supply company providing the marquees, PA, stage, lights, security etc.
The weather is always a critical element to this sort of events success. (Unless you have the pure grunt/draw of the likes of T-in-the Park or Glastonbury etc!!)
so i have no chance then LOL!
Dragon,
You have to accept that the weather can play no part in any aspect of your mental planning. Just prepare for the worst case scenario logistically/ financially.
If your lucky (and global warming may be on your side here!!) and you get great weather, it will likely be the best event possible, crowds will flock to your event and you'll feel like a hero.
You have to have a positive attitude and VERY thick skin.:confused
working on it.
im keeping it very positive.
Rock The Boat, as they used to say at Scapa. Or was it the harbour?
has betsy twinkler offered or been asked yet? Pretty good band that :D
ive notsed by the line up that you have older bands and younger bands...
in my opinion this is a rather bad idea for the older bands will have a bigger followings to younger but having the more experinced on stage all together is goin to bring a better crowd to ass having younger less experinced is not going to have as much.
I feel that it should be re arranged so u have older and younger * age maby not just expeirnced * mixed up!
seems rather unfair in my eyes
friday for younger saturday for older.
i repeat...
friday for younger bands, giving them a chance to play in a enviroment not normally given up here. friday in a sense is a warm up night too, but im giving the youth of thurso there night to shine.
saturday for the older groups.
a night to shine to who though...
ure idea might be right, just an opinion shared once again by zebedy, whats the org for eh?
[para]
for who plays the best and puts on the best show obviously.
Are We To Believe That Chobbers Is A Fan Of Duress Or ?
oh absolute duress endorsee & 1st rate duress wannabe
I'm still working on how to whack bones so I can play lead
Is whacking really essential?
Although I don't think music should be a competition, I am backing Waffles to come out and kick ass and be the dark horse!!!!:cool:
Get practicing guys and don't forget to turn the mic up :Razz
