The curfew tends to be 10.30 instead of 11.00, so it might mean an 8.30-8.45 start...</p> <p>Word of note about The Salutation: it&#39;s been bought by MMU, and then being run by Trof who run bars in some of the student areas. Not been in there since it re-opened. Be warned too: due to the building work MMU are undertaking at the moment, the roads near the pub are all one way systems, so a bit of a nightmare if you&#39;re driving. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7170 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:20:31 +0000 Altfish 7170@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Winter Trees<br /> Can&#39;t say I know Big Hands, but quite a few of us on here are fussy about what our beer tastes like; hence my preference for The Salutation. I may wander up to Big Hands later on when I&#39;ve had a few nice beers in The Salutation.<br /> What time do we reckon we need to be in the venue? 9:00? </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7169 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 16:21:24 +0000 winter_trees 7169@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>The Nook is good in Holmfirth - and disagree with negative comments about Big Hands - I really like it, normally a good atmosphere there on gig nights - used to often see the guys from Elbow and Badly Drawn Boy in there too. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7167 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:11:44 +0000 Muttley 7167@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>For what it&#39;s worth, Oran Mor is actually a good place to meet up for the Oran Mor gig. It&#39;s a beautiful converted church, with a bar upstairs and the venue downstairs (come out of the pub, go right, then go right again down some stairs and you&#39;re there). </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7114 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:07:18 +0000 Andrew 7114@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Warren pls see the other thread, change of venue for tonight see you at O&#39;Neills it&#39;s around the corner from the venue. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7095 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:54:05 +0000 Warren 7095@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>I&#39;ve taken note of the Defectors Weld for London and the Nook Bar for Holmfirth - should be a cracking couple of nights, hopefully. See you there fingers crossed!! </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7094 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:25:05 +0000 vikki_FME 7094@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>I&#39;ll be at the UEA gig, I&#39;m going straight into the LCR, I&#39;ll be wearing a black t-shirt with frilly sleeves if that helps :) </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7088 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:19:36 +0000 Altfish 7088@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Yes, it is in the main Student Union Building. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7087 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 18:33:35 +0000 straggler 7087@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Am staying in a hotel right next to Piccadilly so will have to walk from there. Is the venue easy to find once I&#39;ve got myself to Oxford Road? </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7085 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 17:35:56 +0000 Altfish 7085@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Straggler<br /> The main station is Piccadilly; however many trains go on to Oxford Road station and that is the better one for getting to the venue. Even if your train doesn&#39;t go to Oxford Road, it may be worth crossing to platform 14 (IIRC) and catching the first train to Oxford Road.<br /> You then leave Oxford Road station and turn sharp right at the end of the approach road. That is Oxford Road, you then have a 3/4 mile walk to the venue that is on the right hand side.You are basically looking for signs to the University.</p> <p>Directs from Piccadilly are slightly more complex??!!??</p> <p>Mike </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7084 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:14:17 +0000 straggler 7084@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Btw, anyone know how far the venue is from the main railway station? Is it easy to find (read that there&#39;d been a change of venue but think it&#39;s on the same site)? Ta! </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7083 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:05:41 +0000 straggler 7083@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Will come along for the Manchester meet up. How do we recognise each other? Don&#39;t think I look like an indie geek anymore.

Now I think they have pretty much all closed/burned down/been re-named. My brother is coming to see the Muses for the first time (&amp; bringing friends!) so will see what he&#39;s doing beforehand.... </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7056 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:54:32 +0000 NCFC 7056@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Andrew - it&#39;s OK and not unusual to have non-students in there on gig nights </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7055 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:42:49 +0000 Altfish 7055@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Andrew<br /> I suggested The Salutation for Manchester because it is between the city centre and the venue (I&#39;m assuming most are heading that way) - it also has some good beer on! I met there for Magazine, Grinderman and a few others</p> <p>Anyone know any venues to meet in Dublin??</p> <p>Mike </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7054 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:12:54 +0000 Andrew 7054@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Altfish - apologies I did not see your seperate posts - Big Hands is next door to the venue, same side of the street, about 100 yards down the road (heading out of town). Any other suggestions for Manchester?<br /> NCFC - I&#39;m guessing from your user name that you are from Norwich? :) Is the Students Union a good place to meet? Though I think I am way too old to be hanging round student unions... though luckily I still look 21! :) </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7053 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:07:15 +0000 NCFC 7053@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Norwich UEA - Students Union only</p> <p>Pubs around the University are not recommended </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7051 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 12:34:49 +0000 Altfish 7051@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Andrew</p> <p>I have started seperate threads on Holmfirth and Manchester - agree with you regarding Holmfirth - don&#39;t know Big Hands? </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/uk-tour-pre-gig-meet-ups#post-7050 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 12:29:10 +0000 Andrew 7050@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>I&#39;ll be at a few of these gigs and thought I&#39;d start a new post to try to organise some pre-gig meet-ups.
