Great to see em out in the provinces and not in London. A much better venue that the HMV Forum anyway to my mind. And a good central point for south and north family. Can't wait

No shortage of hotels around the area - for the 30th I stayed in two different ones, both of which beat the commercial chains and were only £25 per night.

For some reason £38 when I looked tonight at the Premier Inn just round the corner, so booked! Stayed there for the 30th gigs, couldn't be handier, very much looking forward to renewing acquaintance with the Nottingham city centre pubs and a great venue. Presume if there are Euro dates this gig will be the end of the run given the proximity to the 25th cos apparently somthings happening that day?

Go for it mate - loved the Manchester one!

Great idea, count me in. No idea where, though!

Thanks for that. Just sent an enquiry to that Salutation Inn...sounds perfect and they've got a function room with 150 capacity. Awaiting a reply from them, will update asap.

Oops, looks like I accidently booked Christmas across the pond with a little stop in Nottingham.
Now to tell the wife.   ;)

Now if I can just get the Bay Area weather to come too  ::)

Can't wait.... should be fun.

Wonder if Ed will make an appearance? Wifee is still a little annoyed that we missed him at London during the 30th gigs.
Title: Re: Nottingham Rock City
Post by: Stoney on May 28, 2012, 06:19:50 PM
The good news is he didn't do London, he did Rock City tho'! As did Joolz........ Space was brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad I missed London, coz rock City was perfect as far I'm concerned....... 8)

Salutation say they can't do the 22nd! Any other suitable venue ideas please?
Title: Re: Nottingham Rock City
Post by: Shadowsire on June 07, 2012, 03:44:08 PM
What you need Lawrence? Try the
 
Old Angel, they have a function room upstairs (The beer there is shite though),
Pit and Pendulum,
Tap N Tumbler (round corner from RC),
The Navigation - they have a bit of a stage, real ales, and is really cool by the canal. Its about 10 min walk from RC though...but Annie does the WORLDS best burgers......,
The Old Bell on the market square, they have a large main room, and two smaller side rooms,
The Rescue Room(?)

If ya need any more info, give me a shout.

Brucie.

If you are  looking at post gig shindig...I know the manage of the cookie club and if we could assure him of numbers he could section us off a floor and appoint  suitable DJ .. Not trying to steal anybody's thunder but would be happy to assist?

Now, that could be a plan........ ;)
Title: Re: Nottingham Rock City
Post by: texaspete on June 07, 2012, 10:03:56 PM
I'll discuss with Aaron the manager and flat an idea on here , as mentioned accommodation at the Nelson & Railway could also be arranged and is a bus ride away!

The cookie club is open till 3 I think.
Be good to get the band on board to endorse this maybe come along.

There may be an entrance fee so watch this space for feasibility !

Post by: BlackCountryMaggiD on June 08, 2012, 09:35:37 AM
I've mentioned this already to LCG.
But why are we actually looking for another venue.
We will already be in a club that has an alternative disco after the band have finished.
It certainly did the trick after the 30th anniversary dates and for those who want a late beer there's always the Tap & Tumbler, The Sal and of course the Turf Tavern (til 4am).
Late curry around RC isn't too easy to find but there is one place I know! ;-)
Title: Re: Nottingham Rock City
Post by: Marloes on June 08, 2012, 10:28:57 AM
True!!
So ... LCG just has to make arrangments with Rockcity.
Title: Re: Nottingham Rock City
Post by: LCG on June 08, 2012, 10:35:18 AM
Hi all. Feedback over the weekend was that it would be good to repeat what we did in Manchester. I've had a positive exchange with The Navigation this morning and hope to get something confirmed later today.
Title: Re: Nottingham Rock City
Post by: LCG on June 08, 2012, 10:39:24 AM
I looked at The Cookie Club and it seemed that it would be unavailable on a Saturday. Also, it would be better if there was no entrance charge? The Salutation is not available.
Title: Re: Nottingham Rock City
Post by: Shadowsire on June 08, 2012, 12:41:46 PM
Maggi D, try
 
Mogal-e-azam - Nottingham.

Thats round the corner from RC, and not a bad curry house. If we can't get a late curry, maybe go for an early one?

The Nav is a good boozer, with several real ales....It's just a bit of a trek if the weather is foul.

Title: Re: Nottingham Rock City
Post by: Barty on June 08, 2012, 12:47:51 PM
The Nav's a decent pub and the owners are fans of rock/blues so I'm sure would welcome us lot. It's been close to closure many times and is usually a bit quiet on a Saturday as it's slightly off the beaten track (still only 10 mins from RC)...so I'm sure they'll welcome the trade too.

Good luck LCG - pre booking the baby sitters already - can't wait as the Manchester party was excellent, unlike my dancing  ;D

Cheers for organising mate and please keep us posted.

i'd think carefully about doing such a thing... a few years ago a few of us went to sample the curry mile in Rusholme before a Manchester gig - and very nice it was too - but a big curry then a few pints and all you want to do is sit down!

Post by: Stoney on June 10, 2012, 12:14:17 PM
The Curry Mile outing last December was really good. I am a believer in JC's uncanny knack of sniffin' out fine establishments........

That reminds me, I gotta get on n sort Bradford's shindig........ I believe Akbars is the place! =)

Is that the place that's underground?   If so, I reckon that's the place that Dave is alluding to with his ;)   It's open late but bloody awful!

The spectator sport of watching the staff fight with customers provided some small distraction from the quality of the fayre on offer...just had to take care not to slip on the blood on the stairs on the way out!

Title: Re: Nottingham Rock City
Post by: texaspete on June 16, 2012, 02:30:09 PM
the arse-end (literally) of the curry world...

Mogal e Azam...food very dodgy i'm afraid!

Desi Downtown (bit of a walk) is a good bet he does late nights for big bookings...I know 'em as well so could broker a deal?

Otherwise, Cumin on Maid Marian way (opp Salutation) would  be my bet...

as Belza and jsyirish will tell ya it totally bollox£d me for the Manchester gig last Xmas, an all you can eat curry buffet less than 90 mins before NMA stage time was not a good mix, made the bouncy floor at the venue seem even harder to navigate
