December 8th, 9th & 10th - Manchester O2 Apollo

[Sycophant MK]

We're travelling up from Milton Keynes for the gig on the 10th by train.

Anyone able to advise what is the best way/how easy it is to get from Piccadilly over the venue.

Cheers x

It's fairly easy. If you come out by the taxi rank, it's a 10 minute straight walk away, or you can obviously just get a taxi which won't be much. Just try and get a general idea on Google Maps or something first and you shouldn't have a problem.

Cheers for the info fella, nice one.

milton keynes, good effort. Your fairly near the venue, depending what time you arrive, try a few beers, and have a top night.

Any spares for thursday or friday give me an email, cheers.

If I was to guess, they will probably play Push Yourself, Save Rosemary In Time & Why Are You Still With Him?

Any more? How many new ones do you think they will do. I'm gonna say 4, 5 at a push!

Save Rosemary In Time and Why Are You Still With Him? are the same song aren't they? Thought it just got a new name.

Save Rosemary In Time is the "he's a proper muppet, I don't wanna alarm you, I'll be your knight in shining armour" one isn't it?
At Haigh Hall they did that one with the full band, then Liam did Why Are You Still With Him in his solo bit.
Then at Delamere they just did Rosemary.
if i remember correctly.

Yeah bang on! Why Are You.... sort of slipped under the radar as it wasn't meant to be played I dont think. I expect all 3 to feature at some point over the weekend. Hopefully the odd other too.

Might be getting them mixed up then. I just remembered the lyrics about the 'life or riley' and thought it was in Save Rosemary.. rather than Why Are You Still With Him?

Hey, me and a couple pals are heading down to manchester from aberdeen on friday for the gig. Whats some good bars etc close to the venue for pre and after the event? This may have already been discussed but dont want to read it all. lol

The Ruby Lounge is the place to be mate.

Due to unforseen circumstances I can no longer make it.

Absolutely gutted to say the least, was looking forward to it a lot, would've been the first time I'd ventured up to see them play a gig in Manchester. Next logical step after the Wigan trip.

Hopefully there'll be some gigs early in the new year when my financial situation is looking a bit better

Anybody who needs a standing ticket for the Saturday gig and can get over to Tranmere Rovers FC for between 1pm & 2.45pm on Saturday to collect it, I have one going spare.
