Which airport are you flying into??Im flying into Stanstead at 10am so by the time I sort out the hotel etc & get into central London its probably going to be 1ish????I still havent sorted the hotel but the most logical thing to do is to book somewhere near the airport & get back out there after the gig - dont fancy trying to get back out there from London for 6am
Anyone up for the RAH & BG scenario or is it going to be the pub for the afternoon

[Best Brown Baggies]

I certainly wouldn't mind seeing British Grove, but at the same time, i'd like to meet up with everyone asap for drinks etc.....

Just an idea, but i'll be at the HMV opposite Bond St Tube station at around midday, so if anyone fancies meeting up at the entrance to HMV then let me know. If not i'd be happy to meet up somewhere else.

Cheers   BBB

now that we know who is going, and that I'll fix up a good pub for us all, I would suggest we PM each other with our mobile numbers and that way we can obviously link up easily on the day. Nigel - I already have yours from the GP/JI gig. Am getting excited big time. Have managed not to hear any new songs and hopefully it will stay that way till the Hurlingham.

Hi,

received an email from mk.com re picking up the ticket and show details:

<SHOW DETAILS
VENUE:                The Hurlingham Club
BOX OFFICE:        The Hurlingham Club entrance on Ranelagh Gardens
ITINERARY
7:00 PM                VIP Champagne Reception

VIP Concert cannot be longer than 45 min, rather less as he has to go to the 'big' stage then...

[Love Expresso]

Well, long enough for an acoustic "Telegraph Road"....
sorry, just kidding....

LE (NOTVIP)

[Rollergirl]

a bit like a "Meet and Greet" I suppose

[draad]

Somebody had to do it guys.

Just back from a  beer tasting tour of the pubs around Putney Bridge.

My vote is the Duke's Head and Mrs draad and I will be there from 5pm on the night, probably earlier.

On the river. Little outside area where they BBQ, and pretty good pub type food. Nothing special, but believe me, there is nothing special in the area. After 6 pints they didn't get much better!

To find it, cross Putney Bridge to the riverside on the opposite bank from the Hurlingham Club and turn immediately right. Walk for two mins and you are there. A big cream coloured building.

I am the guy who looks like he owns the place.

Be there or be square.

I admire your dedication to the team

TY Nat. I felt obliged, but also very privileged, to check the pubs out for BBB, Dan and Maarten.

Cheers Arthur.
Any firm meeting place yet?
Like i say, i'm free from about midday, so i'll happily meet anywhere.
Can we arrange something now? I like to have things organised well in advance.

HMV Oxford St. Opposite Bond St Tube Station?
Then i can gt my fix of music buying too.

Cheers   BBB

see a few posts above Nigel. Will be in the pub from 5pm. There are no great pubs in the immediate vicinity - I think The Duke's Head is ok,  and we'll get some decent food for sure. Had a nice lunch there Saturday. Hope to see you there. If I get to town earlier, I'll call you.

[Best Brown Baggies]

Yeah pub sounds great, i was wondering more about during the day as well.
It would be great to meet to travel around London from as early as possible. For me, i want to make a whole day of it. Pack as much Knopfler related things into it as poss.

Cheers   BBB

[Waterline Man]
