Boring burgh

i'm gonna have to have a moan again about Edinburgh. This is the country's capital and i'm sorry but there's absolutely nothing happening here!!!!!!!!! Where's all the gigs? none! Are there secret gigs that no-one knows about? Are there any bands? What do you do? Even looking in the Metro gig list, nearly everyday there's about 10, average, events rock& pop wise in Glasgow in Edin_ local songwriter Gavin Mcleod plays jangly folk giutar in open mic slot. Pile o' pish man whats it all about?????????????????????????????

Wow, you make Edinburgh sound even more tempting Lee, This Gavin McLeod fella sounds interesting, maybe Misled Youth could do a few gigs with him. And as for you saying that you don't get any gigs in Edinburgh - 4ft fingers are playing next week, the Moon ska tour is in edinburgh in May, plus I hear Misled Youth are playing next month!!! Woo!!

They pulled out of the Westie gig coz they did the Bowling for Soup tour instead, sellouts or what!! The Westies much more appealling than playing in front of 1000 people a night.

nah .. the westie's just more appealing than playin with BFS

Honest you can get gigs in the 'burgh, just takes some looking. We (Doolah) have 3 coming up in the first two weeks of March alone. By the way, I take it you're the same Misled Youth that we played with down in Hawick last August? If so I'd love to see you lot play again - try Bannerman's or get in touch with Dave Cairns at the Subway, they should have plenty of spaces. Other than that get together with some pals and hire the Bongo Club - we've done it many many times, it's easy and always a guid laugh...

Glasgow's the way to go boys!

But then again, i'm biased!

Goatboy, You guy's must've played with another Misled Youth coz I don't remember playing with you guy's, but if you want to find out what we sound like we're playing Bannermans on the 14th of March with Lubby Nugget, My Own Religion and Quik.
