  Rooms4groups have some great deals on for Blackpool bound bands...

Rooms4groups is offering specially negotiated hotel deals for bands attending the British Open Spring Festival in Blackpool next year.

That will also include two bands that fall through the relegation trap door at the British Open Championship this year — so it is something to keep in mind…

They have a great selection of hotels available, including one with that all-important rehearsal space, and have already received a number of bookings and enquiries, resulting in some hotels already selling out.
