Moshulu

Scottish favourite's "The Complete Stone Roses" have offered to help music fans in Aberdeen, affected by the recent closure of the Lemon Tree venue which went bankrupt last December without warning, by offering to honour tickets already purchased at their new show. a spokesman for the band said ""after the lemon tree went bankrupt, the band felt terrible about their fans being left out of pocket , so they've arranged a new date at Aberdeen's "Moshulu" on Friday 11th April 2008 and have offered to exchange the tickets for the cancelled show for tickets for the new show via promotions company PCL who have helped the band to arrange this one off gig"


The tribute act widely regarded as one of the most successful, are well known for their kind gestures. Last December they performed two sell out shows at the Glasgow Carling Academy and managed to raise an incredible £17,000 for Cancer Research UK from the 2nd night and later this year they will be releasing a single (remake of Joy Divisions "Love Will Tear Us Apart") specifically to benefit the charity.
In relation to the ticket fiasco faced by fans who have have been told to "put claims into the recievers" the band members are quoted to have said "we dont see why any music fan should have to suffer because of mismanagement of a venues money, the lemon tree should have paid back everyone who purchased tickets in good faith for any show but instead they have left it down to bands like us who have not only lost income through the cancelation itself but are also having to clean up the lemon tree's mess, we didn't even know the gig was cancelled until about 2 weeks to go"


Exchanges are available from One Up Records, Aberdeen from Wed 6th Feb 2008 and are available until 30th March 2008.
