The smoking ban is'nt that bad, in bars clubs etc,
folks can pop out for a quick smoke...
the problem starts when you go to a larger venue - like Barrowlands in Glasgow - the gig was around
4 hrs and once you go past the gate you cant get out or the guards wont let you back in!
 
...no smoking for 4hrs - stuck with 2000 smokers from Glasgow -  the mood was tense at best.

A couple of December gigs...
 
Friday 22nd, brennans Irish bar in Perth
Friday 29th, Whistlebinkies in Edinburgh
 
If anyone is in the area pop in and say hello.

Whistlebinkies?  Now there's a band name waiting to happen.  I think that may be better than the Bondage Penguins

Sorry, it appears there is a traditional Scottish group already called the Whistlebinkies.
www.whistlebinkies.net No disrespect intended.

Isn't the lead singer that Whippets Dinkle lady that was selling her rat bastard husband's bass?  LOL
 
Bill, tgo

We're playing in Perth (not the Australian one) this Saturday. Brennan's irish Bar. It's always packed to the rafters but there's never been any trouble yet.
