Reviews
Too true Snoopy…. Too true. Guess that’s why it’s good to make a little music every day!
Following another raft load of last minute cancellations for Wednesday and Thursday night we suddenly have spaces both nights.
If you’re looing for a jam tomorrow or Thursday night just give us a call on 01224 647500 or DM us here. Thanks.
Great to see Celebrate Aberdeen making this weekend of local music happen again!
Apply now if you wanna be part of this ace showcase.
Most metal of metal soundscape down here tonight with Bograt, Fractured Perceptions, GoodHuman and DIEALONE all in jamming… It’s an epic battle to the dominate the airwaves with no clear winner!
Not long now till Eruption botb kicks off at Krakatoa. Some tasty bands already in there and still space for more... if you've not entered yet get on it now!
Good wee session wth Aberdeen Academy of Performing Arts College students this afternoon.
Great to have such a variety of different music and artists in the recording studio recently!
Oooh… have a banana!
Why? Why not!? For it is Cinco de Mayo, the 5th of May, which means it’s Captain Toms 22nd birthday today…. Which is truly bananas…. Few studios make it to this ripe old age!!
So, what’s with all the bananas? Well, we’re a little skint at the moment and the £17.94 in the rainy-day fund was never gonna stretch to covering a full party…. So we just bought as many bananas as we could for £17.94! If you’d care to join us for a celebratory 22 year anniversary ...banana today come in by and have one, we arguably have a plethora!
As always, a massive and never ending thanks to everyone who’s helped us keep this dream alive for so many years. We’ve arguably slipped on a few banana skins over the years and not always got it quite right, letting some peeps down along the way…. but we never give up and our door remains open to anyone who needs us for as long as we can!
Be well, with or without bananas.
