The main meeting place last time was The Haymarket Bar
I'll not be there this time, but happy to recommend it.

Haven't got a ticket yet &, following the Bunnymen gig, I'll now just chance a ticket on the door if I go. I've lost interest in paying BF's & the like. If you don't get in you've got 30 bucks in your pocket to head back to the pub with.Alias wrote:You going to the Embra gig Alan?Gene Regulation wrote:Mathers Bar - 1 Queensferry Street, West End Edinburgh EH2 4PA
Been working out the trains &, although it's harder getting back to Larbert on a Sunday fi Embra, it can be done !
Could get the 2304 out of Haymarket, just got a 20 min wait & change at Croy & be back in Larbert for 0004 (last direct train 2239-2319 ).
Glasgow would be easier on the Sat night, wi subway & last train at 2348-0018 + it's £6.50 CDR, as opposed to £8.50 for Embra.
Still to decide, as I fancied SOD the other night but couldn't be bothered.
There's also Dodgy, the Levellers/Wonder Stuff & BAD coming up too, as well as fees for swimming, dancing, football, Guides etc wi the kids.

The thing wi Mathers is, there's one at both the West & East End, so if your going to the Playhouse, there's one round the corner in Broughton Street as well.Toiler On The Sea wrote:Good ShoutGene Regulation wrote:Mathers Bar - 1 Queensferry Street, West End Edinburgh EH2 4PA
