Anybody know what's going on with them? Had notification that the show on 17/Sep at the Electric Ballroom has been cancelled and notice that they've also cancelled their Bingley Festival appearance on 6/Sep!  Bingley is particularly upsetting, as we can't get the money back for tickets or hotels on that one - also because we were looking forward to seeing them play of course! |

They've also cancelled Oran Mor on 19/Sep.

Where have you read this? It's bad news if you're right. These gigs are still listed on the Myspace page (which was updated today if you believe the 'last log in' date). Perhaps significantly, though, the Elbow support gig has never been listed on the Myspace page. Were tickets on sale for the Electric Ballroom?
My guess is it's because they've arranged a more lucrative US tour.
Why don't you message the band on Myspace? They read them you know, and reply quite often. Juanita has replied to me several times on various subjects.

It IS true unfortunately! I had already received my tickets for the Electric Ballroom but TicketMaster called about it today. Also, on the TM site, the Electric Ballroom and Oram Mor show as cancelled. The Bingley Festival site has a news item saying they've cancelled due to events beyond their control. I commented on their Myspace, but didn't actually send a message, in case the cancellations are for personal, as opposed to financial, reasons. Though you're right about them answering personal messages!  |

"Events beyond their control" is a catch-all explanation meaning they don't have to give a reason.
But I'm sure there is a reason. Hope it's nothing bad.
