Why don't a load of you get together and rent one of those 'serviced apartments' for the night? Yer could maybe even sneak a few in with sleeping bags and bobs yer uncle.

Loads of hotels nearby, the venue is smack in the middle of town.

There's some fucking grim ones too, Gardens Hotel & Sacha's to name two.

Let me know your budget and I'll recommend a couple mate

Want something within easy (safe) walking distance ideally and must have parking. Up to about £80 would be OK and not arsed about breakfast. Might be asking too much.....

I've stayed at Jury's, The Palace and the Travelodge on Blackfriars St. All ok and you can get usually get a deal on them. Jeff'll know some better ones.

Stretford Buccaneers are away that weekend so demand shouldn't be too bad.

The facebook Ruby Lounge are saying John will be playing Pale Fountains as well as solo songs. Anyone close to him know this to be certain or is it a marketing ploy? Soz no link B)

They describe him planning to play Shack and Pale Fountains hits.

Some especially imaginative use of the word "hit" there.

Any idea of running times of this gig? Last train home for me. Only been to Ruby Lounge once and i think it was an earlyish finish coz it turns into a club later.

I really enjoyed last night. I'd love to know what that lady whispered into John's ear at the end. All looked a bit Shakespearean.
