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)
All the world's a stage and we are merely players . . . . .

still believe he's looking for a drummer as well
you said my band has a space and just so you know its REMAND.
I find it a tad unfiar that the votin thing got puled early. Astronot shouldn't headline. Why? Because all the kidds will b in there beds by then!
BOSS HOGG should headline!
Awww come on now. Just cos your choice didn't win doesn't mean you should throw your toys out the pram. Who cares who headlines? Saturday nights headliners are yet to play a gig in their current form but no-one has moaned about that!
Ok, being in both bands that you mention allows me to be the one to respond to your message without any worry of being set upon by the music board hounds (I hope) but I think you'll find that both bands have very similar age groups of people who follow them and it is unfair to dismiss Astronot because you consider them a band for kiddies.
Poor old K Dragon, no matter what he tries to do, it ends up getting pulled to pieces. I think it was a remarkably fair way of doing it, to setup a poll, but still people complain.. Ahh well, thats the caithness musical scene for you.
Personally, I'd have rather seen Duress headline the friday night, with Reeves random banter, and Bones powerposing, theyre ideal headliners :-), but popular opinion is against that it seems, and I'm sure Astronot will be great.
I think the reason no one is complaining about Stevie playing the saturday night headline, is cos, well, its Stevie He always pulls in a good crowd, and with the Fats band not playing, and Estrella not doing it again, surely he's the obvious choice round here?
Oh, and as we polled 2nd, (with a whole 9 votes, about 8 more than people I knew actually liked us *lol*), do we get 2nd slot? Is this what stardom feels like? *rofl* no more autographs people, please
Its all good fun folks, just hope lots of people turn up on the days, and have a great time listening to local bands doing their thing. And please try and support K Dragon, he must be regretting taking all this on, and he needs to be supported, not slammed for every choice he tries to make. Surely this is a good event for the local scene. Just go with the flow, however its setup, and have fun :-)
