I get to gig with them a couple of times a year when their regular bass player is on holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cancelled on Sunday?[/quote] More on the cancellation taken from Riffs website. "Linda Cross, who has worked so tirelessly to put bands on at Harleys in Sunderland, has now the unenviable task of informing everyone that, due to such poor turnouts, the venue has ceased live bands altogether. How she actually conveyed this information to Riffs was much more from the heart: 'Due to the apathy of the sh*tty punters in Sunderland Harleys, possibly the best venue in the town has ceased staging live gigs. The manager could not stand losing the amount of money that having two bands on over a weekend was costing. So its "Up Yours!" Sunderland punters you are not worth the effort that goes in to staging such gigs.' " Do you think she's a bit miffed or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Aww... sorry I didn't make it, JPJ. I had a gig this afternoon that I thought was cancelled, but it's back on again, and I'm utterly wiped out at the mo. How'd it go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
