I'm going to the first london show but couldn't pass up the chance to see them play a headline gig ... and stock up on more merch. The drive won't be all that fun but seeing Cable twice after all these years should make up for it

I'm making a similarly lengthy journey from Edinburgh but will be totally worth it! Then it's back up to Edinburgh and down again to Manchester 2 days later. Can't think of many / if any bands i would be this arsed to make such an effort to see!
Damon:
Even though it will be a bit of a nightmare and mean crashing in a hotel for the evening it will be pretty rad to see the band play a headliner.
By the way, seeing as i'll have time to kill the day after, is there anything to see/do in Derby? I haven't been there in years and thought i'd spend some time there before the looonnngggg drive back

Think were booked into a Travel Inn or something, about a mile away but dont care as it's gonna be amazing!

Anywhere on Macklin Street would probably be best for you, just round the corner from the venue.
Try http://www.rangemoorparkhotel.co.uk/rooms.htm - Rangemoor Park Hotel or
http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g187048-d193447-Reviews-Metro_Inns_Derby-Derby_Derbyshire_England.html - Heritage Hotel.
Can't say I've stayed in either though given that I live here!

I wouldn't stay in either of these. I think the pictures say it all. Best bet price wise for that date is either Hallmark Inn or The Stuart Hotel. Close to the train station but Derby city centre is not massive you may want to get a taxi, you can walk it in 20.
Things to do during the day?? Get hammered in town. There is not much else to do on a Wednesday.

Quad is probably worth a look Damon, not sure what will be on at the time though - http://www.derbyquad.co.uk/
