Methinks that B-fest is only promoting local bands from the Wick side of Caithness, and the scraps will be pushed out to whoever wants to play off in a battle of the bands competition, harks back to the bad old days of when Wick Academy wouldn't take any interest in any one from the other side of Watten, oh dear!!!!!

Eh day Academy started playing Tea-na-bowlies is the same day ma season ticket went in eh bucket!!!

Ah've nivver been back. It's bad enough they play biys fae Poltney!!

OK hands up which bands are going to take up the offer of entering into the pissing contest
of getting on the bill
"There's no such thing as bad publicity" if Jordon said that it's bullocks? it's an o isn't it, dam this spell-check

[The Pepsi Challenge]

I'm wondering; is my band considered "from doon sooth"? Or is any band who reside south of Helmsdale reckoned so?

[Jeid]

Dirty southerner... we don't take kindly to your type around here

[BigKev]

I'm quite interested if they do hold a "battle of the bands".

Where's it gonna be and do they need a big pa? . . . . . .

A mere concession to the plebs.

A pissing contest - now that would be cheaper than running a battle of the bands....

If I were to pick the best 3 bands out of Caithness - in my opinion - then that would be a fault aswell as I wasn't giving everyone a fair go blah blah blah....

Or we could do it this way - the bands that moan the least get to play.

[sids]

- the bands that moan the least get to play.

That wasn't a moan- just their self-penned material.

Why go through the charade of Battle of the Bands, just pick three bands you like and job done, it's your baby so get on with it, and if people don't like them at the Bfest then they will drift off to the other stage etc.
It would be interesting to know how to pick which bands on the night,,,,clapometer, a panel of judges? where would it be held etc etc
Can the moaning be incorporated in the song performed on the night, so many questions yak yakity yak

Genuine question: The band I play in features - and has featured - around a dozen or so Caithness musicians. Although we are based in Edinburgh, does this make us an Edinburgh or Caithness band? Or an Edinburgh-based Caithness band? Or merely a bunch of soft, southern nancies?

[Douglas Cowie]

[QUOTE=MusicWicker;822976]There a 3 slots up for grabs via the battle of the bands which will be held around June.

The best 3 bands in Caithness will be playing Bfest - thats all that matters isn't it?

Pepsi I suspect from this previous posting by Ryan that you have to be based in Caithness not Edinburgh but that may change who knows? I'm sure Ryan will enlighten you.

[The Pepsi Challenge]

For the sake of clarity, I have no interest in playing at Bfest. Not just because we wouldn't have the time or means, but I'd like to see as many slots go to bands from and regularly playing within Caithness.

+1 for Nancies.

I like the idea of a battle of the bands, if just for something else to go and see. nfortunately the number of caithness bands is dwindling at the moment so can't imagine ther will be many playing at it however.

Aye, the great big Caithness band depression of the second decade of the new millenium is upon us.

I don't support BOTB's in anything other than school, but I'd still go. If Ryan thinks it's the fairest way of doing it, then cool
