Anyone know the venue? Anyone else going? May stop over so I can have a pint ('scuse the pun) myself:-) Cheers DtG |

Do some cracking stuff and, being the strange kind of gnome I am, I actualy like the hurdy gurdy:-) I was wondering more if anyone knew the venue - Is it good for live music for instance? Cheers DtG |

Beware the speed cameras on the way into Blackpool and on the way out. There are at three or four in each direction! Excellent pint of Thwaites Bitter or Lancaster Bomber at the bar. Best seats are in the compact end section, so get there in good time. |

04 Nov 05 - 04:39 AM (#1597112) Subject: RE: Pint and Dale at the Clarence, Blackpool From: Dave the Gnome Thanks Henry - I travel Preston New Road regularly and see the flashes made by people who don't know it quite so well:-) Thanks for the advice on seating and beer - I think I will take a B&B for the night if the Lancaster Bomber is on form:-) One of my daughters lives quite nearby but her flat doesn't have room to take a snoring old folkie:-( I remember them both making a joke of Williams name, Billy - Felicia saying if he was going to call himself pin-t she was going to be Dall-y:-) Anyone remember the English guy that toured with them for a while. I am sure he used to be a sub-mariner at one time and, no, it wasn't Cyril! I am sure he is well known but I can't remember his name... Thanks again for the input. Cheers DtG |
