Sheffield peeks through the British winter fog.

If you’ve met me for drinks anytime in the past few months, you know I’ve been repeatedly passing a fuzzy gaze across England, squinting to discern which British cities warrant a Matt visit this spring.

Early this morning, before my janitor Ezekiel had even swept the confetti off the studio floor from last night’s New Year’s Eve festivities, I received from a UK hotel franchise PR manager an email that snapped Sheffield right into focus.

Through January 10, rooms at one of the five highest-rated hotels in Sheffield are available to me and my clients for half-price.

The Stranglers are performing in numerous English towns in March; we can take our pick of shows and explore the corresponding cities. Sheffield has been on my short list of most likely destinations since this concert tour was announced. Offering a favorably reviewed hotel at 50% off definitely shortens that list even further.

I’ll need to lock up a room for myself within nine days in order to snag the half-price deal. Tell me you’re in for our March adventure before January 10 and I’ll snare you a 50% discount on a room of your own. I’ll be talking with the PR manager to be sure, but I think the half-price offer is good on any size room or occupancy. So whether it’s just you in a single room or you and your love muffin in a suite, the price will be half off of that room’s regular rate.

Our March excursion begins in London and then moves through two or three smaller UK towns. If we accept this grin-inducing half-off hotel deal, Sheffield is definitely one of them.
