After a lot of discussion we decided in the interest of the audiences well being and safety in these weather conditions it would be sensible to take the option of putting the show back 2 weeks – to 23rd January. The Festival Hall were in full agreement. Going to a gig should be something to look forward to not dread and after alot of feedback from lots of sources we felt all we would be welcomed by ticket holders. We hope this is the case and hope to see all ticket holders on the 23rd
