Argh! can one of you lovely people who come from Brum please give me some help on how to get to the Barfly and The Symphony Hall? Robs doing my head in cos he's never driven into Birmingham and he wants to buy a flippin sat nav just for this journey! Is that really going to be neccessary? is brum really difficult to navigate around or something? And what about parking? is there parking anywhere near either of those two venues?
