[Soundgarden] Airdrie-Sneakys Rockgarden?

[PamelaSockGirl]

Just seen an ad in the local rag about this... anyone any info?

[Kenny Everett]

Aye, i'd like to know about this too

[ChRiSPY]

Don't come to Airdrie, EVER. It's just not worth it.

[islandevents]

Don't bother with it. One of these places that says it's a live music venue wanting to promote local talent, but puts a cover band on once a week. No atmosphere and poor sound from the DJ. I can't see it still being open in a few months. The Exchange in Airdrie is starting to put on live music. They have Blues guitarist Paul Rose and his band, who used to play with Rory Gallagher on Sun 10th October and it is free. I've seen him a few times and he is the best guitarist I have ever seen.

Ps... Well done to Motherwells Crazy Chester for winning the North lanarkshire battle of the bands.

anyone know who organises the bands at sneakys?

I was going to offer them my services and good PA system anyone interested in playing sneakys if i get the gig?

the gear is all top class mackie active and spirit by soundcraft stuff

I'll even provide the drunmkit and if you ask nicely maybe some guitar amps

Oh and i'm not a DJ turned engineer I used to teach sound engineering for a living so I know my stuff.

answers on a postcard

Ps would anyone be interested in me (re)opening a quality rehearsal/recording complex in airdrie got my eye on a place and I think It would be good

[ChRiSPY]

I would be extremely interested in a rehearsal/recording area in Airdrie. Capital idea. I know hunners of folk who would be interested in that also. Keep us updated on how you do there.

[freakboy]

Will do mate looking at coatdyke so its loacal ot airdrie and coatbridge and I want to have decent sized rooms and the usual basic marshall gear, pearl export kits, good quality mics and everything serviced by me so no gaffa taped together amps - not a good time of year to buy property (I would but selling my old place would be hard so we're looking at start of next year) but i will keep you all posted

[JennyPiccolo]

I'm local to airdrie, but the rest of my band aren't. The place that was/is down in dundyvan industrial estate did ok though, i think.

[LiveTillYouDie!]

Heard that sneakys is absoloute pish, one of my mates went to it and left after half an hour.

[freakboy]

the place that was in dundyvan industrial estate - was mine - the landlords were ripping me off - thats why it shut. But this place will be mortgaged and owned outright and run much better - for anyone that used to rehearse in Gig-Rite the rooms are going to be almost double the size and the gear will be of a similar or better quality.

[ChRiSPY]

Property prices are being rumoured to crash in the next few years...highest they've been since the last crash in the early 90s. Might be in for a bargain soon.

[cyanide_christ]

here sneaky's is not bad if yer right out the game, ive had a good few laughs in there...its quite small tho and sometimes can be quite empty. If ye live in airdrie its good as an option if thers a few of ye and ye cant be bothered travelling into the town. At first they had a no trainers policy which has since been changed to 'no white trainers'. Think that done them a bit of damage when it first opened. Dont think its promoted primarilly as a live venue tho, more of club first venue second.


Shut up ian
Clart!

[ana_saba]
