    Possibly off-topic, but can anyone recommend a good breakfast place near the Bingley Hall for Sunday?
    There is nowhere near the venue I would recommend, we do have bacon sarnies if that helps

    Which way are you coming?

    Ahh, fair enough. Staying at Premier Inn, Gt Barr. Coming down from Stirling sat afternoon for show on sunday. And either prem inn brekky, or something closer to food.

    As someone that grew up in Great Barr, stick to the Premier Inn, your satnav will probably bring you through Hamstead - Handsworth - Hockley, you wouldn't really want to stop in any of them, not dangerous, just run down and a bit grimey

    I was wanting to see that gig  can't make either Manchester or Birmingham so somewhat of a bummer - What a combination that should be - Tell me about it if you see me Sunday on my stand

    That’s a branding tag line right there :) 
    Red ones are better.

    Nah, the shows would be "Great Show, Great Food, annoyingly small car park (but the roads are free)"

    Catchy eh!

    Hotel booked Friday night so me and my daughter can attend on Saturday. It's my first show in at least 15 years!

    If anyone sees a fat pirate in a wheelchair, that'll probably be me.

    wow, can I ask where you are coming from and what prompted a 15 year turnaround?

    I just want to know if a particular bit of marketing worked really, then do more of that :)

    It's all Adrian Thorpes fault...I'm coming to collect a debt he owes me.

    I live in Norwich so a bit of a trek to do the round trip in one day.

    I haven’t been to one for probably 30 yrs, last time I went I was left with never wanting to hear another guitar as long as I lived ;) . There are only so many times you can listen to a swept minor arpeggio and bloody GnR riffs played out of tune and too loudly :)

    At the Brum show they have quiet periods and the acoustics are upstairs so it's not a constant barrage of widdle. Although after guitar shows I like to get in the car and turn the radio on just to hear someone sing. 
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    Hopefully Bumblefoot playing GnR riffs will stop anyone else :)

    Give it a go, you never know, then you can decide if it was a good 30 year decision
