saf-one Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 The Mighty Alf is the man filling the (big) boots of Paul on the live front...A great Job he does too. If any of you saw them at Skye or at the Camden barfly recently you'll know what I mean.Paul is still writing and producing with the Needles but it's looking possible that this could be the last summer of the Needles.(Resons will be explained later once a decision has been made)There's other projects in the pipeline the boys are busy working away on. They have already performed a couple small gigs in Glasgow with one of the projects.... which have received great feedback.The Musa gig is almost certain to be their last Acoustic gig in Aberdeen.At least one more live one will be arranged. ...then who knows.

saf-one Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 The Band will be on from about 9pm. The 4 door fee is the price Musa set.It's a small place and the band are gonna do a long set so you should get your moneys worth....hopefully.

Cloud Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I'm sure I read somewhere else that this gig was free. 4 is tadge steep for an acoustic set with no support.Ouch, that's pretty hefty considering the venue uses public money...

Chris Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Ouch, that's pretty hefty considering the venue uses public money...Care to elaborate? I know they got help to restore the building, but I think that's as far as it went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Stax Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Ouch, that's pretty hefty considering the venue uses public money...Your a laugh a minute with your ill placed un-thought out righteousness. I'm not saying it was a fair price but the snide little remarks you make across these boards at times gets on my tits. MUSA recieved funding to address issues with the building to restore it. Nothing else as far as I know. It's a business, maybe you will grasp the concept someday.You caught me in a particulary annoyed at the world mood by the way. Although on the news today, finally, the government are admitting to the ongoing and growing 'huge' input from the creative sector to this country's economy. (For another thread)LONG LIVE THE NEEDLES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(For another thread)That's the thing though Jim, it doesn't seem particularly right that a business that received public cash to do up their premises should then charge such amounts.for things. I could understand it if The Needles had themselves said "let's charge lots!" but for the venue to do so just verges on greed - and will be the death of them.You know me, I demand value from public money..but at the same time, To be honest (in reference to your mentioning of the government) - I do believe that it plays an important part, but we have to be incredibly careful to ensure that it's not based on increases in public money being made to cover the costs of the creative sector. I'm personally starting to believe that money should be targetted towards community-based projects rather than largescale ones - for instance, why isn't there a public art venue in somewhere like Cults?
