Yeah was at the manics one - long time ago - early 90's - 92/93??

I think Bradfield jumped into the crowd at one point if I remember correctly - they played in the town at a smaller venue called legends which was more of a rave scene place but I missed that one - funnily enough I've missed the times the levs have played there but yeah can't wait for april

your directions are right about the hotel as well - just re read your post - that is the most direct route if you go into bank quay station - prob about 15 - 20 mins walk.

That's over 21 years ago...

Looking forward to it. Thanks for all the info, even though I just live down the road I don't know Warrington that well. A couple of mates I know reckon The Lounge is a good choice to suit our needs. I'm looking forward to a pint of Greenhall Whitley's Festival ;)
It's a mean old scene.

So, got time on my hands right now, so popped over to Warrington, not too far away and it was a nice day, fancied a day out...

THE LOUNGE... damn fine call for an aftershow!  Had a quick beer in there, nice place.  Be even better with a few good tunes playing... and very convenient for Parr Hall.  Five minutes away... pah, I can do it in three...  ;)

Parr Hall opens out into a large square / garden, if it's a lovely Spring evening, be nice to hang out there with like-minded folks before the show.  Great location.

I also looked into how to get to the Prem Inn I'm staying at... BTW, I think I mistakenly posted that the nearest one was Central North... it's ain't, it's Warrington Central.  Sorry about that.  And it's STILL a bugger to find, if you're going on foot!  Certainly not just around the corner from PH.  You're talking a 15-20 minute walk that eventually takes you down a muddy unlit dirt-path down by the river for a hundred yards or so, under a rusting bridge that even at 1pm on a sunny afternoon, had disreputable characters hanging around... didn't feel comfortable doing that on a bright nice day, much less at 1 in the morning!  No worries, found an alternative route if you're happy to have a ten-minute detour... will post it if anyone wants it.

Anyway, I'm rambling again, as I am wont to do... cannot wait for Warrington.  I'm oddly fond of this town, my favourite auntie used to live in Stockton Heath and so I went there many times...

Rah! Rah! Rah! We're going to smash the oiks!

For Master Ray,

ref - my dilemma, whether to do Warrington on the Friday, or Norwich on the Sunday, The wife won, So we are doing the Warringto gig.

Not sure, but I have my suspicions, she may be more interested in the LCG disco afterwards than the gig itself  :D

She is an LCG fan after his do at Notts last time !!!

Good call, sir!  You won't regret it, Parr Hall is a cracking good venue...

Get back to me if there's anything you need to know...

Thanks yourself mate.

Again a perfect end to a wonderful night.

Parr Hall surprisingly small, but I prefer the smaller places. Highlights for me, Archway Towers, a very finely done "March in September", and although we heard it Rock City, December, I loved hearing "the Price" again.

Another highlight, finally talking to - Master Ray in the flesh, after talking to him so much here. Great lad, good company.

If anyone was wondering why he is conspicuous by his absence here lately, his laptop is down, but he is getting a friend to look  at it next week.
