What if he wants to live long enough to see the gig?

If you like Italian food then I highly recommend spuntini on gordon street right opposite Central station. Lots of good bars around that area as well

Looking at the shite on offer,I think I'll refrain and have a liquid diet this weekend

The pie doesn't look that far off a turd either

Deep fried Mars bars are absolutely delicious

Not had them in years, but remember having them and I agree. They're a shortcut to a heart attack, but they are tidy.

The Shambles Chip Shop (Settle) used to deep fry those McCain 6" pizzas back in the day have to say they were rather moreish too .... He did the Mars Bar and also tried Milky Way's too (worked best from Frozen)

You and John Paul Getty.

It's all neeps and tatties up there.

Don't be forgetting your scotch with your cornflakes!

It's not far from Sauchiehall Street.
There's all sorts around that area.
A lot of places do deals for what they call early theatre.
Obviously depends where you are staying.

Cheers ,I'm staying in the Premier inn close to the SSE!think it's called Charing Cross

It's a 5 minute walk from there Sauchy st.
If driving up there's a multi storey car park next to the Prem inn, and you get discounted parking

If you like Mexican food head to topolabamba in the city centre great place think its a couple of miles from the sec centre.

Think I’d rather the pie and Mars bar than an hour and a half of listening to that wailing Manc ****.

If you like Chinese the Amber Regent is a landmark place with decent grub - not far from you either, decent couple of boozers around there too.

I don't see the point in recommending an eating establishment as you clearly have no taste. ;-]

Ps. It's a joke

With what is on offer nowadays live gigs will soon be a thing of the past,I'm just getting what's on offer while it's still around,it will be a banging gig no doubt,don't think I'd get that at a James Blunt or a Ed Sheeran gig do you ?

Joe Satriani is on tour soon, he will blow your mind!

Surfing with the Alien

Try Finniston or the West End (Ashton Lane). Glasgow is brilliant.

Was literally just going to recommend Ashton Lane. Not far from the Hydro, and one of the best eating and drinking streets in the UK.

Ox and FInch, and Stravaigin were both very good.

Yes both great restaurants those.
Pub called the Ben Nevis in Finniston is also great as a recall.

Sounds pretty good to me,just checked out his tour..25th of May 20 hes performing at the best venue in the north west, the Bridgewater Hall i've earmarked the dates with a visit home to visit my Mum,take in our last game against Brighton and a trip to the Bridgewater Hall
Have you seen him live by any chance?

Just seen John Fogerty is playing with him on that tour,would be well worth going to just to listen to Fogerty.

Get down on sauchiehall street. Tons of pubs to choose from. Charing X is where all the skirt goes out anyway.

For food I’d recommend going south towards George square on st.vincents street as most of the better eateries are that way. A particularly good one is cafe Andaluz which does Spanish tapas. It’s literally on the corner between George square and st Vincent street. The famous horse shoe bar isn’t far from there either on drury street..

Bier Halle on Gordon street just up from central station is worth a whirl aswell.

When ever I'm in Edinburgh I go to the Cafe Andaluz for Tapas its brilliant.I wonder if they are connected?

Yes they are. Sure they have one in Aberdeen aswell

Yep, I've seen (and met him) lots of times, one of the nicest people you could meet, super friendly and helpful. In fact I've seen him so many times I thought I might swerve this tour, My t-shirt drawer is full

Will be at the gig mate... Hope to see you there and give you a proper tour of the city

But have you ever seen in him a place like the Bridgewater Hall?

Steve1956 wrote:But have you ever seen in him a place like the Bridgewater Hall?

Ah yes Bridgewater Hall is a good venue (I met Tommy Emmanuel there, oops another name drop)

I might just see him again for the eighth time

I had my first ever deep fried steak pie in Scotland 30 odd years ago bud and I tried it with trepidation. They are f!ckin fantastic. Even found a chippy in Leyland when I worked there that did them. I never got round to the deep fried Mars bar and couldn't quite get my head around the deep fried pizza. Is there ANYTHING the Scots won't put in a deep fryer?
