Angela asked for help finding a sensibly priced room in Brum for the night of November 3rd. I had a browse and found this budget hotel, it's part of the Accor group of hotels, a no frills establishment @ £35 per room. (up to 3 people in a room) It is within reasonable walking distance of the Town Hall.

You'll have to be careful with that Dennis Angela, Brum has some excellent, and huge, music shops especially that one behind Snow Street Station whose name evades me fer a minute.... never seen so many guitars.

As it will only be a few days after his 15th birthday he may have some birthday money to spend, so I expect that shall be his first stopping point!

We are on the 5th row (centre) as well, I booked at 10am on Monday and asked where best to sit as we were disapointed with the sound at the Symphony Hall in Feb.

Booked my tickets yesterday got 3rd row (I think, that excited can't recall exactly) but in centre. Posting out to me and hey  no booking fee just £2. postage!!  Excellent price was expecting much dearer for Birmingham city centre !!
Now to book some accommodation.....there are some good offers on.....
Now I wonder who may be the guests on this promising to be memorable Birthday Bash Huh?   We should perhaps club together to get a genuine leather holder for Peggys new bus pass..ho..ho....what a fab present what?  ho..ho..
Had a quick look online  at the newly renovated Town Hall, my word what a fabulous building, I think it is going to be a night to remember..the work will not be finished until about October I believe but I guess we will all feel pretty special walking into this most elegant, historical building with such a history of music going back to the sixties (or even before) and thinking of all the bands and people who have played there before like going to the opera..sooo posh !!  Bit like Southport Arts Centre methinks...roflmho.....honest!!
Seriously it will be a truly great meeting of 'talkawhilers' (after Croppers of course ) Looking froward to seeing you all there!!!

Agreed! I did go there once in the sixties, to see John Mayall's Bluesbrakers (the Mick Taylor line-up, as I recall).

I saw Tull, Fairport and Steeleye Span there in the space of a year during the 1990s. The Tull gig was excellent, with the band wearing miner's hats! Allcock and Pegg were both part of the lineup.
