1 year ago we shut the doors after an amazing night.
What's your favourite moment in Downstairs? Mine is this after playing half a set with Daydream Frenzy.
Also I (Gav) will be in Tunnels tonight seeing my good mates in Archives. Come along to say hi and let's share some memories 🙂

The UK government needs to wake the fuck and do something other than lining their wallets before live music on a local level is destroyed.
We really do need the Agent Of Change to start being taken more seriously.

So... Last night... The Last Night... You guys were all incredible! Such a great audience and bunch of people and we are grateful that you all came to join us. It is a night we will never forget!
A huge thank you to all the bands: Depeche Choad, Terrordactyl, Dear John - Band, CAMPFIRES, Further On, Daydream Frenzy and Darth Elvis & The Imperials! Every single one of you played absolutely amazing! And I (Gav) am grateful to have been invited on stage with Dear John, Daydream ...Frenzy and Darth Elvis!
Also thanks to Matt Jolly Photography and Colin Wylie for all their help on the night and a special thanks to Colin Brennan from Before Stories who refused to let me do the door after covering me for Dear John! And to everybody there, the love was 100% felt in the room!
The last 3 and bit years have been a bit crazy... we have seen so many amazing bands and watched so many bands go from strength to strength to get even better every time we seen them. A lot of you became friends, and have welcomed us into the scene with open arms and we will never forget that. Without you all we could never have done this.
One of our key nights was Blues Jam at the Malt Mill, every Wednesday we got the pleasure of showcasing some of the best players in Aberdeen and most of that was down to the hard work of Charlie B Goode, without him we certainly would not have made it this far.
The rest of the nights for the most part were organised by our amazing team of promoters who worked with us through all of this time and put so much effort into their shows... There are so many of you but you know who you are! And you know we fucking love you!
I could start tagging bands, people, promoters, and all that good stuff but the list would take forever. Just know we are thankful for you all.
Huge thanks to all the staff we had over the years who worked just as hard and sometimes harder to make sure we were always our best: A.P. Henderson, Calum Couzin, Badger, Phil Reid, Jay McDougall, Rachael Lewis, Holly Neill. And of course the two barman who stuck with us until the very end Adam Thomson and Levvie Brovvn (who was there from day 1!).
I imagine the pictures will be up soon... If this post didn't make as much sense as I thought it did it is because I am a bit of a zombie just now and tired from cleaning up the party, so the TL;DR version.
Thank you, We love you and Goodbye! <3
