How spooky, was just looking at the BD site this morning to check the if the line up has been announced.

As it's on my doorstep (well 30 miles), would be churlish not to go!

Has your mate considered the many benefits of hosting his/her wedding at Beautiful Days?   ;)  ;D

Sounds like a perfect marital offer to me - cider, NMA, more cider and a night in a tent, I can't imagine a wedding could get much better than that really, could it ; ~ D

So where's the BD warm up gig gonna be, I wonder?
Title: Re: Beautiful Days
Post by: JME on March 02, 2012, 06:28:59 AM
I vote for The Exeter Phoenix or Lemon Grove or The Cavern, failing that how about Torquay Town Hall - quite a unique building.

But saying that Poole, Bristol, WSM or even Bridgwater are other venues south of the Watford Gap. I also think that there is one on Yeovil, as I seem to remember The Alarm playing there before BD's.

As a last resort my local, The Lansdowne Hotel - would save a drive if nothing else.

Good shout JME - Torquay for me from a purely selfish point of view!!!

However the Lemongrove would be a good venue and only a short drive - and I beleive its your turn to drive and listen to my drunken drivel on the way home  ;D x

Totally too far away, but I vote for Sheffield for the warm up - we have to be there on Friday for D's sister's wedding so BDays weekend is going to be reduced to an expensive 2 days for us this year. Can't miss it though - NMA playing on our wedding anniversary is just too tempting.

Too many of the Army gigs are North of the Watford Gap, give us Southerners some more of the action.

P.S Hope you and Des are well - long time no speak, must be another half term coming up soon!

To be honest, they'd be daft to play Exeter the night before, as Exeter and Plymouth both empty on B-Daze weekend....... :)

If you envy teachers you could always do a PGCE (I have no idea if you are a graduate but if not there's the small matter of your honours degree first) and join us.  I spent the first 20 years of my teaching career working evenings, weekends and holidays. I now have a much healthier work life balance but many of my colleagues have not heard the wise man sing "Whatever they want from you, you don't have to give".

But - hey , don't be bitter that somebody is enjoying their holidays!  ;)
