Let me know if you are coming along for a night or two and we can meet up!

Saw The Acorn at the Great Escape in Brighton either last year or the year before, I forget. They were great, would be well up for a trip to see them in Switzerland

Like the new BSS album too, will check and see if its a one nighter or make a weekend of it

I'm definitely going. Got B&B booked for two nights Friday and Saturday, ticket for the Friday (Broken Social Scene!) and will make a final decision on the Saturday regarding that night.

Saw The Acorn a couple of years ago at an End Of The Road Xmas gig which headlined the much-missed Broken Family Band and also featured The Accidental. Darren Hayman and Jeremy Warmsley doing a set of covers of Magnetic Fields songs. One of the best gigs ever. And I've been to a LOT of gigs. A lot.

If anyone has any bar / sights / comic shop / other recommendations then I'd be Vevey pleased to hear them

vevey pleased ?
