Chameleons Ruby Lounge Friday

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Hi, Does anyone know how far the Ruby Lounge is from Picadilly Railway station, and what's the easiest way to get to it walking ?

What time does the bands come on at Ruby Lounge roughly. ?

Don't know if the gig is still on regarding the trouble in Manchester of late, but at this present time, the Ruby Lounge says the gig is still on.

Think Quiff Boy will know all the Questions above , but all your answers are much appreciated.

aye, ruby lounge is about 2 mins round the corner from picc gardens, opposite the arndale centre

picc gardens is about 5mins walk from picc station

easiest way is to head for the gardens, then carry on walking and follow the tram lines around the bend.

tbh, i'd wait and see what's happening with the disturbances before setting off on friday :|

i'll let you know if it's calmed down enough... it seems have calmed down tonight, but i gather police have had tip-offs that its being saved up for friday :urff:

(we're not going anyway, regardless of the riots :lol:)

fwiw, there was increased police presence last night but no trouble

i think (hope!) it's passed now, so the only potential gotcha would be the trains

i'd keep your eye on these pages

looks ok so far though :D

and just to clarify, when i say "follow the tram lines around the bend" i should have added "...around the side of debenhams" :)

enjoy 8)
