Manchester Ritz - Stage times?

[markp]

Does anyone (Viv??) know the stage times for Manchester?
It seems to be advertised as: "Doors 6.30pm, Curfew 10pm".

I seem to remember it was an early start last time they played at The Ritz. A mate has only gone and decided to get married that afternoon so I'm trying to work out if doing both is possible...

It's a saturday night and these type of venues have clubs afterwards so I would assume that it is indeed an early show. It is, however, the 2nd of September so I my knowledge is scetchy at best. If it's a 22.00 curfew, which seems likely, I would suggest the band would be on stage at 8.15 at the latest.

Thanks Viv, suspect you're right. Bugger.
Still, there'll be other weddings to go to...

Aw shit, ANOTHER one of these 'get the band playing early so we can **** 'em off before 10pm and get the chavs in' kinda gigs? I still remember the London Astoria a few years back, also on a Saturday, when we got kicked out at 9.30 so they could stick Rachel Stephens (was that her name?  S Club 7 bird?) in her big, all-important headlining slot later on...

**** it and **** the Ritz, much as I like that venue.  There's gonna be an aftershow party at Grand Central, just around the corner...  see you all there?

 

[LCG]

Yes, see you all at The Grand Central afterwards...although bear in mind we are not officially starting until around midnight, finishing around 2 / 2.30am.

Looks like we're gonna have a couple of hours to spare... ideas, anyone?

curry curry curry curry curry curry - don't know why but I'd like to meet you all over a meal more than a piss up on the dance floor!  I can't dance you see, but I pretty much know how to eat.

I like the idea of a curry meet up x



oops - let me just put those keyboard errors right - bit of a stickler for ligwist sticks x

[LCG]

Do both.

[Master Ray]

Also love the idea of a curry, give us chance to soak up some of the booze so we can go at it again... I'm in Manchester quite a lot, so let me look into convenient restaurants and I'll be back to you...

Shame the infamous Curry Mile is a bit too far away...

[MerseyExile]

Oh the curry mile. Rusholme. It's been a few years but... OK Sorry, Nostalgia creeping in. I'll get a grip now.

[mattOrourke]

There's a good curry house near the town hall but I forget its name. It's highly recommended I believe and only a short walk away....I'll find out its name

[LCG]

Rajdoot.

[MerseyExile]

I kike the curry idea. A friend used to like the Rajdoot but on the last visit reckons its too pricey and too small portions.  Obviously this is second hand and it could have been an isolated one-off bad day (we all have them). Anybody been recently ?

[LCG]

Yes. It is quite pricey, compared to curry mile. Last time I went, service wasn't all that either!

[Gayle]

 Curry is always good. We found a good one last time on the curry mile, JC might remember where it was.
