Sadly too true. Clickimin is suitable for "major" acts but (a) the act really has to want to come and ( someone has to be willing to take on the risk. From what i can tell Shetland folk have seemed extremely uninterested in bands coming to Shetland in recent years. Poor show. Although one look at the Folk Fest ticket sales and its easy to see there is a substantial demand for live music (albeit folk in nature and an established event). Basically it comes down to bums on seats and pints in hands and if the demand/interest is not there then the chances of "established" acts coming will become less and less. or something like this..........

Gallows - Orchestra of Wolves! www.myspace.com/gallows Been listening to them constant for last 2 days now! Totally arresting! Should be an awesome gig @ The Tunnels in June!

Aye! Grand gig! I think the FSons are one of my fav live bands! truley excellent Photos will be up soon - a bit disappointed that Bryan didnt play his peerie 1 1/2 foot "space" bass with silicone strings! I wanted to hear how it sounded! Thanks to all who turned up - also met and demystified some shetlinkers!

with broadband and youtube etc you dont need a TV no more. Youtube = The Future Of Televisoin Bill Hicks is the by far the best comedian - he makes Connolly look like a clown at a birthday party

"du canna spear a byre goat on half a bannock"

on reading this im gutted im not getting home for a final night in the star! Good luck tho - onwards and upwards!

Grand! I hope to catch them one day! Is Mooneys' set for the same fate as the NS?

Hicks' infamous "completely loses it with an audience member!" clip Disclaimer: it contains the C word! 8O 8O 8O but only 5 times http://youtube.com/watch?v=4xbJ8QhE8Us

Chris Carroll also added to the bill now for Thursday. He has no website and will try and get some info on him. AMAZING guitarist - 12th fret capos, harmonics on weird frets and very intricate finger work - VERY impressive! and he donates all his gig fees to charity! :tmbup; (or so i hear)

do you have a quality threshold? I could spout some sharn!

haha! ive jsut realised Ive be helping inform people of a free gig round the corner from a gig that i am putting on!! Andy the UN-promoter! Actually my gig will be crap - everyone go to MUSA! I might even go!

who supported?

I wanted to go to this and also Tiny Dancers were in The Tunnels last night - buses an ah dat! and i had too miss both as I had so much work to get through last night Also Tiny Dancers played a 1-UP in-store @ 4:15pm - idiot me misread the poster and turned up at 4:45pm!

http://www.gcguide.co.uk/calendar.php?viewday=22-03-2007 Musa is 2 mins walk from the Tunnels so you can easy nip over and im pretty sure they wont clash. FREE also and a great wee venue/eatery http://www.musaartcafe.com/ http://www.musaartcafe.com/documents/TOMMORTONANDMALACHY220307.pdf
