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.

google maps

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

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

Not totally unrelated. Lookie at what landed on my doorstep today



Note to self - remove from wall when Fielding comes round

Thankyou for the info QB.

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

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

enjoy

Thanks again QB. The info most apreciated.

Have a lovely time.

i think we're going for a quick post-work beer in grand central, so if anyone's around there for pre-gig drinkies, do say hello

as i say, we aren't going to the gig though.

but as ness says, enjoy!




oh, and fwiw, town's been quiet as a mouse the last couple of evenings. no trouble at all

If i get time will try to pop in Grand Central for a pre -gig drink.

and again thanks all.

and what do you know, we ended up at the gig...!

to be fair, it was pretty good too. best one i've seen since the real band split up, and better than actual chameleons gigs i've seen

Watching the Chuckle Brothers would have been better than a couple of the Chameleons gigs

Wow they must be good live then.

Had a great time, and nice to meet Barry And Jo.
