Stacker Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Well, that will should be interesting! I'd love to witness/hear this but I'm abroad, then. If anyone from BC goes, can they please post a trip report and, maybe, a link to some media? Anyway, here they are, before they fell out...

If you are on the train, get the overland from Ally Pally to Finsbury Park and get the Victoria Line to Kings Cross. Then from KX get the Northern Line to Old Street. If you get your connections quick enough it would take around 45mins, an hour tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Why in in Londonium ? Surely now Wob is living in sunny Mancunia, it should be played there PS: I haven't washed my hand since he shook it at Bass Day Manchester, and I am definitely playing better Edited May 23, 2012 by daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to meet for a drink, but I think the Wobble gig might finish later than 11, as the door is 9pm. Then I'm on the night bus to Hendon.

Well done, we expect a full report on your return!!! ped [/quote] Cheers Ped, and thanks for posting the comp. Due to the short notice, and my distinct lack of mates, or rather mates with kids/wives/GF's etc, I've got the +1 part of the comp going spare. Hope you don't mind, but I'm going to post up a topic offering it up to BC'ers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
