Val4Gareth Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Thanks Heather. Brilliant song-list. Why do these things always have to be so far away. Great for those who live nearby though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of trying to go see this concert so hopefully I will be able to. I was just looking on the Bridgewater Hall website http://www.bridgewat...ance/16341.aspx at tickets and it says the performance is at 3pm, or am I looking at the wrong event? As I notice the information you give Val says 7:30pm.

Yorksheather Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 The link I posted says 3pm Katie , and as it has the Gareth details I take it to be correct http://www.bridgewater-hall.co.uk/performance/16341.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowdrop Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I would presume that one to be correct too, as it has all of the other details. The other site is just a summary of what's on, and is far more likely to make a mistake, presuming that it's on at the usual evening time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val4Gareth Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I think its definitely on at 3pm as that's the time Doris and Val have booked for. Don't know why they said 7 o'clock on the first link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floz Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Just been back to the Birmimgham site mentioned in the orginal post in this thread - to find that the concert is there too, but on the Monday (14th) http://www.symphonyhall.co.uk/view/valentines-day-at-the-musicals-14-feb-2011 I've edited the topic title so its clear for folk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Symphony Hall is the most amazing venue with wonderful acoustics. Everyone knows I fell in love with the Cardiff venue of Les Mis but I have to say this is just better. So much more intimate. Well I really hope to be going. Just have to check that I am not being wisked off for a romantic meal that evening (which has never happened before) and then off to check for seats. The spare bed is still available!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Thanks Floz for finding the link confirming the Valentine show is also playing Birmingham Symphony Hall on Feb 14th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NicolaJayne Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 These shows sound absolutely wonderful and I would love to go but unfortunately dont think that possible as they are too far away. Its really good for the fans up North though and so pleased for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading that, you definitely have a taker for that spare bed. Thought I was going to have to miss this when It appeared to be only in Manchester.
