Delay on the Brae
Added: (Fri Oct 28 2005)
A new nightclub, soon to open in Carnegies Brae, Aberdeen, has had its launch celebration party delayed.
Lo-Down, a new late-night lounge and club, have been consulting with local authorities in Aberdeen on an on-going basis with a view to creating a safer and more enjoyable clubbing experience for city revellers.
Extensive refurbishment work has been taking place to dramatically improve the late-night venue with manager Adrian Gomes counting down to a memorable launch party which had been scheduled for the end of October. However, through cooperating with the Aberdeenshire authorities, it was decided that supplementary security measures, designed to further augment client safety, were to be taken.
General Manager, Adrian Gomes said “The two additional cameras will face in either direction of Carnegies Brae. These, in partnership with lighting and highly trained stewards, will serve to provide our ambitious and innovative venue with superior security measures. The big downside is that by putting client safety to the top of our agenda, we now face having to postpone our opening until the middle of November
The venue is characteristically housed in three supporting arches, dated circa 1800, on Carnegies Brae below Aberdeen’s main thoroughfare, Union Street.
Entertainment is high on the agenda at Lo-Down. This complimented with a high-quality, reasonably-priced selection of house, premium and mixed drinks plus free entry (unless otherwise stated) should thrust Lo-Down to the forefront of the entertainment scene in, not only the city of Aberdeen, but in fact the national scene.
During the week Lo-Down is a late-night basement lounge with a rotation of DJ’s, spinning an eclectic selection from soul, funk and hip-hop, to disco, house and broken beat.
Friday/Saturday nights sees the venue open up for a rotation of new and established club nights catering for all your audio requirements. High profile guests will feature regularly.
Jazz cats - make your way to Lo Down on Sundays for the Maison Bourbon Live Jazz Collective.
Although the website is still a work in progress, there is an option to sign up for our membership scheme that will launch soon. Members will be entitled to liquid refreshment offers and discounts on tickets for high profile events… amongst other benefits.

Another benefit to those signing up early, will be the opportunity to land passes for our preview opening night in mid November, date tbc.
