Heartland

a friend is visiting manchester in a couple of weeks to see the bushart/john lever/mark burgess/chameleons gig on 19th september, and was asking me about cheap accommodation for his visit

obviously, living there myself i have never actually stayed in a hotel there!

(and before you ask, we can't put him up as we already have a dozen or so people staying at ours )

so i was wondering, have any of you lot got any places in manc you'd recommend?

i guess this is more directed at the travelling contingency who might have come here to see the sisters on previous tours

thanks in advance...

Staying at Sachas tonight in middle of Piccadilly. They've a £28 a night per room offer on this month & next !!!!

Will report back if any good tomorrow

And before you ask...the Offspring at Man Academy !

How cheap is cheap?

I stayed at the Days Inn last time, which was about 60 quid - a whole ton cheaper than anywhere else I looked at that wasn't a flea-infested student dive, and pretty decent too.

I got a deal at that generic hotel next to the retro bar..WTF is it called?

If your friends don't mind flowery wallpaper, china ducks, Elvis memorabilia etc. you chould check out the Verdene in Rusholme. Good old-fashioned hospitality from Mr & Mrs Gallagher (who played football with Right Said Fred in the park across the road when they stayed at the hotel many moons ago).

Come by car... you won't have to stay in Manchester then.

Mr Pradictable, Birkenhead.

Don't listen to Mr. Snowey's directions; it would obviously be Amsterdam - Hull - then the M62.

Drive straight back out of Manchester then hee hee

THE GIG BLEEDING SOLD OUT.

By that I mean, I'd like a ticket, does anyone have a spare/unneeded one/know where I can get one?

They're doing York Fibbers which I don't think is sold out - I have no idea when though - I is rubbish. And they are supporting Magazine somwhere along the line and I have a feeling there might just be one or two other things in the pipeline.

I think all details may be on Facebook or MySpace under what I haven't the foggiest. I'm a bit useless ain't I? I only secured a ticket the other week and that was rather touch and go.

2nd Oct York Fibbers, so it would seem

It was a right convoluted way of finding out as it certainly wasn't on the Bushart page

Cheers Debaser, I'll be at the York gig if I can't make Manc... I've got quite a few friends going on the 19th though, which is part of the fun of the thing.

Right.... Sachas -

Pros -
£28 for room for night.Very clean. Room fine for money, TV, tea/coffee/biscuits/hairdryer, en suite. In middle of town. Bar open late.
Cons -
Had a softer bed. Parking in NCP next to hotel £17 overnight. Not much hot water at 6am !

Can't complain for price. As good as Jury's/Holiday Inns that I've previously stopped at in MCR for twice the price.

Thanks all, decided to get a B&B on Heywood St to avoid bankruptcy.

Quiff, I'll see you there!
