Well done to The Floor on winning the audition. I read the article in todays Courier.

Great to see young talent getting a big chance to shine.

The gig for young music fans on the Saturday at the town hall is also a great idea.

Long may things like this be happening in this town!

Lookin forward to the weekend of the 30th of May.
Have already got tickets for the opening night & will be out & about over the weekend to support Montrose's first LIVE music event.
Lookin forward to seein & hopefully catchin up with Gerry Jablonski!!
Had a great blues jam with him many moons ago in an old Aberdeen haunt,RADARS!!

Once again ,thank you for the late invite to be apart of the Festival.

Im up for ,as im sure the rest of us will be,The Bomber's idea of having a wee warm up the week before:D The more LIVE music in the town,the better & lets hope this festival encourages it to happen on a regular basis!!;)

Here's to the First of many Montrose Music Festival.

Will see you all there.......Keep Music LIVE!!!;)

With regret we will have to miss out this year. Our bassist is unable to get the time off.

The rest of us will no doubt be in unison to still wander out during the weekend and support the fest and its acts. We will also probably turn up at the open night.

Incidently, if you need any help moving gear etc i am more than willing to help when the time comes.

No doubt the fest will be a success and as our bassist will be home the week prior we may just organise a gig to wet peoples taste buds for the forthcoming event itself.

Next year we will be there:)

Great news but our bassist is away offshore on May the 27th!!:(

However we are going to accept this invite if our bassist can get annual leave for the date mentioned.

Cheers, and its good to be appreciated in our quest to blow all drum machines and backing tracks out of this damn boring town!!

Nosmo-King will let you know if we can make the festival.

Over and Out for now:)
