Night of the Hawk in Falkirk

Local Correspondent writes :

 There's 2 rail stations in Falkirk.  Falkirk High is the most convenient
(services-wise) from Edinburgh and Glasgow as the quarter-hourly express
stops there.  But that station is the other end of town from the venue, so
best to go to Grahamston.  I think there's trains every half hour to there
from both Glasgow and Edinburgh and they take about 40 mins.

Have a look at this map.

Grahamston station is at the bottom of the map.  The Martell is a pub/disco
and is about half a mile north of that on the B902.  More specifically, once
you reach the Forth and Clyde canal , just above the red B of B902 on the
map, it is on the first left after that, into Burnbank Rd,and is about 20
yards along there on the left.  Once you are into Burnbank Rd you can't miss
it.

Doors open at 8, but Brighawk are on after 3 other bands so it will probably
be 10.30 at least before they go on.  Pay a fiver or so on the door.

If anyone wants to meet before-hand there's a pub called the Graeme Hotel
(known to locals as Elliot's), again it's on the B902 (Graham's Road) but it
is within 200 yards of the station. If you walk out of the station, onto
Graham's Rd and go north, then it is on the left.  Not very pubby looking on
the outside (sandstone building), it is just after an Italian restaurant
called Sepia (all neon red and green signs).  I will be there from 8 until
8.45, after which I will go to the Martell.

I'll wear a red carnation in my lapel or, er well, OK then, a Hawkwind
t-shirt.
