Cable headlining Derby Gig on the Wednesday

[Si]

Bastards! Why not headlining in London?

[martin_lindau]

You got the final gig, which I missed due to being 15 and from Derby!

This is justice!!

Can't wait

[Greg]

Should be a great gig.

argh!! why do they keep announcing these gig before payday!

[dandandan]

BOOKED! This has been a long time coming.

Ticket booked for this, couldn't pass on a headline show.  It was the news i think all of us were hoping for.

Do any Derby locals know what the capacity of the venue is?

[martin_lindau]

Up to 400 I think, apparently the venue can be partitioned though, depending on how many tickets are sold.

According to their website it says upto 275. I've never heard of the place before? I'm just happy it's not at The Vic.

Oh right, sorry. 275 sounds like a better number. I've actually never been to a gig at The Venue, strange seeing as I've lived in Derby all my life.

I'll be driving up from Portsmouth for this one (seemed like it should be done) where's a good place to stay in Derby,  hotel, b&b-wise that's with luck not too far from the venue?

Nice one Damon, that's dedication  for you. Unfortunately I can't get time off with my job as I've got fixed holidays. I just want a ticket for Saturdays gig! Have fun everyone that goes. Let's make sure we get plenty of photos for the site, any chance of the gigs being filmed?

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!

[Damon]

Thanks man, that's awesome!

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

[martin_lindau]

If you want slightly more plush places - Jurys Inn or the Holiday Inn near the bus station

I thought the Heritage Inn was just for ho banging Dan? haha oh dear

[dandandan]

haha, very true! The only time I've been in there was for a You Judas gig years ago!
