They should do my one-off Colston Hall gig to celebrate the opening of the new foyer there. A rebirth factor - if only it could give a bit of Nicky's symmetry ideals. And it was the venue of the first gig for Sean, Richey, and Jimbo.

Travelodge by the Airport in Ayr is £29 too.

Trains running all the way up to 11:30PM, takes 50 mins, for £6.35


That makes the Glasgow International/Staying in Central option £123-ish and this one quite a bit less... The 'con' being that you have to travel back to your hotel after the gig.

Argh I've only just remembered what an arse Luton/Stanstead are too.

Ah this talk of lack of sleep at 5.30 is nonsense. I had a day in Bermuda, flew 6 hours to london, got a train to swindon, went home, emma drove me to newport and i went to the newport gig with no sleep at all mind you I fell asleep through the support

Ooh, Ryanair is very cheap as we wouldn't need checked baggage (or insurance) - £30 all in (includes £10 debit card fee )

Yup, £100 on payday for a different manics gig might just about be palletable

Way I see it, unless anyone out there has a mastercard prepaid card, its
£29 travelodge +
£30 ryanair +
£25 ticket +
£12 train (£6x2)
£26 train from liverpool st to stanstead

= £122

Probably about £150 to go the Glasgow Central method with Easyjet
