Yeah, I was supposed to see Morrissey this week :(
Oh dear - this time I was lucky, and had tickets for one of the few dates that actually went ahead. But was at the Roundhouse gig last year that got pulled after 3 songs, and was followed by a near riot when bizzarely Russell Brand and John Ross took to the stage to tell us Morrisey wasn't coming back on - they went down like a lead balloon.
Somebody needs to tell Ticketmaster this gig isn't happening. Just had an event reminder e-mail for it.
Still, got a refund on the B&B and I'm going to catch a couple of the other UK dates instead. Quite looking forward to them now. I wonder if they will be the same format as his last tour, with a mini lecture and a disco at the end.
Just had an interesting phone call with someone at the Empress Ballroom - apparently management of Jarvis's record label didnt want cancellation letters to be sent out - however we will have received them today in the post. It is Jarvis's management who postponed the gig.
Its POSTPONED, not CANCELLED. A date is being rearranged as I type, and we will all be informed as soon as it is known. Rough Trade were meant to have phoned the Ballroom yesterday to confirm a new date - but they never did.
