- Present As some of you will know, I now have two children.

Hand Made Noise takes precedence over Aardvark, and looking after a young baby and a six year old takes up too much time to do both.

Jon from Kobe is now running fortnightly gigs in Jocks bar in the union, at the same time as Trash on Wednesdays.

DJ Kerrap is still going strong in the Old Glan every Saturday night, so there's plenty of rock music in Bangor at the moment, even without Aardvark.

When we're needed, we'll be back . . .

 

Nov 2002   Aardvark is being held in abeyance until I have a bit more time. Those of you who've seen Jen recently will appreciate why. Sorry to those who are missing us. We should be back in the new year.

 

May -Aug '02   One of the problems with a student's union venue is the lack of action during the long summer break. Also the fact that I will have to re negotiate Aardvark for next year, as the union operates September to June and then takes stock and reorganises for the next September.

On a happier note, Aardvark membership for access to the union on Aardvark nights only is now operating as a guest list, with name and address only - none of this photo business.

 

Apr 2002 Family matters make this months update rather redundant, appearing as it does after the event. Our gig was Carpathia (phoenix from the ashes of Torturehaus) in Jocks Bar, supported by Five Mile High. If you missed it I'm sorry, because it was one of the best gigs we've had (80 in Jocks is quite fun, and Carpathia were superb). If you didn't miss it, then you know what I'm talking about and this update becomes really redundant. Nothing booked yet for May, mainly due to exams and suchlike, one of the problems of using a university venue. Consequently I am looking for another alternative venue, at least for the summer. News will appear here when there is any.

 

Mar 2002 This month's gig is confirmed as Verm in the SU main bar on Tuesday March 12th. Entry is free as usual. Non student union members will be able to take out Aardvark membership, which will allow access to the SU on Aardvark nights. To get membership, approach James with two passport style photos and your name and address.

Aprils gig should be Tuesday the 16th. Due to Torturehaus' sad demise, I am lining up another band for that one, all will be revealed when I know for certain.

 

Feb 2002 Barrels now closed - Aardvark will continue in Bangor SU. I'll put up more details when I know what's going on. Dammerung's gig is now in Jocks Bar, all other details should remain the same.

 

Feb 2002

Dammerung will be  playing. Nice to see that we're keeping Tab busy. Judging by the quality of their recent four song demo "Faith in Fakes", this is a band in form.

 

Jan 2002

Skinflick will be playing as a warm up for their gigs  in Cardiff and the Camden Barfly. Justin has been in the studio, and has now put together a five piece band to play his first live shows for a number of years.

 

Dec 2001

Fubar kick off our live bands at Aardvark. If you've not seen them before, do yourself a favour. This should be a cracker.
