We will be there as well and we are looking for a B & B in a walkable distance, so that we don“t have to drive back home. Can somebody help?

We stayed here after the Symphony hall show - and the town hall is only the other side of the library

Would recommend a cab afterwards - cost us only a fiver at 1:30 am, coz its quite a walk - but bus into town from the hotel to the gig was about £1.40 each and every 5mins

Got put onto it originally by Gower Flower - who we shared (well sort of shared) breakfast and discussed the show the night before, very enjoyable ..... Full English Breakfast the lot - and that night was £40 for a double room inc breaky

Booked it through laterooms

http://www.birminghamnet.co.uk/hotels/90612-portland.html?d=2007-02-17&n=1

won't give a price yet tho.... guess its not a late room yet Smiley

Smiley  


Were also planning to be at the show - the town hall was the first place I saw Fairport - i think around about 1988 - lots of beer since then ..... and its 8 days after my 40th..... feels like i should be there really

I just spoke with Peggy earlier this morning, at the moment he is busily beavering away in Brittany writing up the sleeve notes for his forthcoming 4 CD boxed set and chatting with various record labels in an attempt to get the green light to use material to which these labels own copyright.
Peggy will be flying back to the UK on Friday in preparation for the gig in Banff on Saturday, he's really looking forward to playing in Scotland again.
He asked me to pass on his love and best wishes to everyone on the TAW board.
