Suddenly, sadly, and somewhat prematurely, the Midsummer Tour has come to an end.
We knew some time ago that the July 14th gig was a phantom one. (Let's just hope we don't get a phone call at 8.30pm that night, with someone asking where the hell we are!)
And then Livestock on the 7th July was cancelled due to poor ticket sales.
Now the legendary Kilmeston Rave has been abandoned, also due to poor ticket sales. Apparently it clashed with a significant stag night for most of the young men in the village, and with the Cheriton Singers doing their Slipknot/Napalm Death tribute evening.
The sadness is that the nice people who organise Livestock moved their date to accomodate us, having heard that we were already booked to play Kilmeston. So somewhat unfortunate that we end up with two cancelled gigs.The nice people who organised Kilmeston have, however, promised that next year they'll do a bit more advertising.
So that's it, for now. Next gig looks like being the Chertiton Beer festival in August, unless we can slot in to the Tichborne one the week before. All in all, slightly disappointing. Still, better to stop while keen to do more, I suppose. Ho hum.
