    Default Charity Gig in Skinandis 24th May


  2. #2

    Default Charity gig

    Looks like it could be a good night, and worthy causes. any chance of letting the punters know of the running order, or hears a thought what about having a poll to see who plays where and when, apart from Whisky that is, as Headbangers/Headliners?

    lol thanks for pointing out the errors folks, the poster was thrown together by a good friend at the last minute hence the minor spelling mistakes and lack of name change for The Harlands.

    The running order is from Headliner downwards:

    Whisky
    Bad ReputationS
    Empty Fortune
    Prolific
    ScollAy and Kenny
    CHARITY WAX!
    After Hours
    NoExitWound
    The Harlands (formerly Liquid Blue)

    Just to give y'all a bit of background about the organisers. The three girls organising the gig have spent the last few months raising money for their charities by Running Karaoke Contests, Bingo Nights, Kids Discos, Ann Summers Nights with Slave Auctions to name but a few events and they all did a Skydive at the end of April!

    yeah i have to say, if this is half as good craic as the karaoke then it'll be a winner... i for one will be down early doors to catch the start

    nothing to do with booze, just for the music obviously.

    Wise decision Guitarzan I think The Harlands set might just be the highlight of the day, some great new original material to be heard.

    It doesn't take much to confuse me these days, but the line up seems to be a bit delusional, I know its for charity and "get as much as you can" but put on a show on for the punters in the process, so this being the case isn't it normal for the line up of bands to get progressively better as the night goes on, i do apologise if i am being derogatory to some bands but some of them that are on late(not including Whisky) in the day haven't played to a responsive audience in their career, so surly there has been a massive error by the person or persons that are giving advice as to the line up, Liquid Blue/Harland's have been cutting the mustard for some time now and deserve a better placement, No exit Wound have been supporting bigger Bands, in Glasgow, Inverness and Skins than any of the rest can dream off supporting, and After Hours are technically in a class of their own so whats the story.

    Quite simply, a lot of people playing have other commitments to attend to on the day. The NEW drummer is playing elsewhere that day, as is the guitarist from Whisky so they can only attend at certain times. With After Hours, it was requested that they have an early slot as one of them has a slot on Caithness FM.

    I don't really mind where we are on the bill, personally I'm glad it's an early slot as then we get plenty of time to get drunk and watch the other bands

    It's the venue I have most concern with, everytime we seem to play there we never get a soundcheck lol.

    Bring it on.
    Pictures of you, litter my floorboards.

    Why would you do that? Because he shared his opinion on your musical adventure to date?

    Since you're first on and it's an all day thing, chances are you'll be the ONLY band gettin a soundcheck. Everyone else will get line checks.
