- MESSAGE FROM THE BAND
"The band would like to apoogise to any fans that came to The Gaswroks
in Hudderfield to see us play - unfortunately the Manager refused to open the
club as one of his members of staff was ill. Sadly he didn't let the
band know the gig was off until they had already arrived for the sound check
and couldn't get in.
Apologies to anyone we couldn't contact but we can assure you tha band would
not let their fans down this way.
If anyone turned up at Huddersfied and would like to email their address
to the website a cd of A Little Love will be sent to them.
Hopefully you can make it to Ilkley tomorrow"
