Just another word on the Edinburgh indie club scene :
The only one worth going to is the Egg (And I wouldn't call it and indie club as such - much more interesting than that). No I'm not being payed by the Laird of East Fountainbridge.
Have to agree with you there. I spent a wonderful, if slightly drunken, night there last Saturday. Also plucked up the courage to say hello to the Laird after he responded to my written-down request to play 'String Bean Jean'. Boy, did that make my night. He also aired LLPJ at the end. Now, I ask you. Where elae in Embra would you get that on a Saturday night? The Archdeacon of Pop Here's my well educated opinion of the rest : - FBI : Used to be great when the DJ had a little originality. - Evol : Good once (played My Bloody Velentine - Whoo Hoo). - Day Tripper : Had promise and I did actually dance a bit. - Scooter : Had a good night here the DJ had a little flair (which dwindled as the night grew long). - MI5 : Pish - Katch : Shit This is the truth so there. Seek out other clubs e.g. Tribal Funktion (the top floor plays brilliant Old Skool and Soul), Cafe Graffitti or Scratch. Anyway to make this better for the rest of the listees I have a question on clubs : Have Oasis ruined all the indie clubs we used to love ? - Gordon (the edinburgh club guru from Aberdeen) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
