Wall of Mouths

If you get a chance to go to Dublin, I would strongly recommend it.

As for Reading, well, the Fez is not a bad venue, pretty small etc etc. The town itself is a god-forsaken hole and I would suggest never having to visit it.

Can’t speak about the other towns in your list.

lol :D

The Leadmill is a great live venue and T? always seem to put on a superb show there. However, Sheffield is a good town to go out drinking and to night clubs but there isn’t much to do in the day time [that isn’t drink related] except shopping or a visit to the botanical gardens or museum of modern art. You can use Sheffield as a base to go visit the Peak District and other local areas, but you would need to plan where you are going.

Great party town but bugger all to do in the day I’m afraid.

Glasgow or the Netherlands would probably be better.

thanx guys!
dublin would have been my first choice, unluckily the gig is not on friday-saturday-monday… i alwais wanted to visit ireland, and never had the chance..
sheffield semms to be a good place: you know you can’t pretend to visit lots of places in 2 days…

You can probably get a us out to the Peak district, which should look quite cool. There’s also various places that you can go bowling/laserquesting at in Sheffield, and the Meadowhall Centre is one of the best out-of-town shopping centres in the UK, although it does get busy at the weekend (lots of chavs). The Leadmill is a cool venue too - had many happy nights wasted in there.

this is what i call good propaganda in favour of the tourism industry! :D

pity they’re not playing anywhere in edinburgh, otherwise i would have recommended that.

The Netherlands is suprisingly like Dublin, as far as I can tell, but it lacks that indefinable ‘Irish charm’, and is a bit less grotty.

Title: hmm

Agree with everything said so far about Sheffield and would add that a visit to the Fat Cat pub is also highly recommended. But it is a bit limited on what it has to offer during the day, depending on what you were looking for, and compared to other places. Still, public transport around the area is pretty good.

Glasgow is a fantastic city with loads to do. A trip to the People’s Palace is a must if only to see Billy Conolly’s banana boots. Beers cheap too. Byres Road - excellent place for a pub crawl. Easy to get round the best bits using the underground or trains. And contrary to popular belief a very friendly place.

what can you tell me about aberdeen?

infernalo man: i’ve been in oxford a few years ago, it’s a good town, and i lived in a very friendly family.. i’ve been to the zodiac too once, but i found just a disco night……i can’t choose a destination… it’s hard!… but i have to book the flight right now if i want to save some money…

glasgow seems to be right, but i’m also thinking to go to ireland, even without catching a t? gig, just to travel there…
