What website was that on?

do we know what date the pogues play dublin this year yet?

**Sun Jul 23, 2006 9:16 am**

it usually seems to be around the 23rd

**Sun Jul 23, 2006 8:14 pm**

does anyone know any half decent hotels in birmingham near the venue?

**Sun Jul 23, 2006 8:16 pm**

I normally stay in the hilton and it's quite lovely

joking.

(family friend i stay with.)

I wouldn't mind staying in a Hilton.

Paris Hilton, that is.

*high five*

So aside from all the fun activities that can be had while at the Hilton, does anyone know the dates & locations for the X-mas shows? The Mrs and I are thinking about hopping across the pond to catch another Pogues gig and we'll need to plan in advance.

TIA

Dates aren't confirmed yet, but unless you have friends you can stay with I suggest not going to the London gigs (Carling Academy, Brixton) because it's very expensive to stay here (and I'd steer well clear of any cheap accomadation in Brixton).

if you book the travelodge in the city centre more than 2 weeks in advance you can usually get it for £26. I use it quite a lot. its only about 5-10 mins walk from the venue

yep yep he has a point

Last year... quite a few medusans stayed at the regent palace hotel right in the heart of london on picadilly circus.. that was alright.. I heard.

i stayed at k+k hotel george in kensington and that's located right near the earl's court tube station. not that far from the venue, maybe 20 mins. nice hotel too that i'm going back there again this year
