Music Open Day A5s:Layout 1 19/09/2012 09:39

Aberdeen Performing Arts is a charity registered in Scotland. No: SCO33733

A brief conversation at The Lemon Tree a couple of months ago about the quality of local supports wewere getting has given birth to this Saturday’s all day music event featuring an all Aberdeen line up acrossa variety of town centre venues, bars and stores.

We have a fantastic music scene in Aberdeen with some brilliant bands, soloists and DJs and want toshowcase and celebrate this. With acts such as Fridge Magnets, The Little Kicks, Indian Red Lopez, CaraMitchell, Stanley, Duke and Marionettes shows there is an incredibly strong and diverse scene out there.A quick Google search will pull up a plethora of top quality videos, EPs, singles and albums all from actsin the North-east. Give this a try and you won’t be disappointed!

We also want to use the day to demonstrate the part we ALL play within this scene. We want to supportlocal music at The Lemon Tree as much as we can with gigs and support slots. We’re also lucky to havean outstanding independent record store with One Up and a shop such as ii Music with a great selectionof instruments and accessories to start, or improve, your music career. Brewdog are just the perfectexample of what can happen when an idea and a fresh approach pays off. Local guys done good!

So on behalf of ourselves at The Lemon Tree, ii Music, One Up and Brewdog we urge you to get out there,check out the talent you have on your doorstep and have a great day this Saturday!
