Weather really wasn't that bad Saturday. No word at all on a refund. Very poor form from all involved.
So anybody know anything more on this? The only thing I can see is this which doesn't say a lot at all:

Word is that they are looking to reschedule but this appears to have been the last date on the euro leg of the tour with more gigs stateside in april. Surprised that alternative arrangements couldn't have been made. Weather really wasn't that bad Saturday. No word at all on a refund. Very poor form from all involved.
It does piss me off though. Ireland misses out on quite a few gigs as it is because of our location; plenty of international acts just don't bother. And when they do it's generally the last leg of a long tour and the one most likely to be skipped for whatever reason. Rocket from the Crypt is fresh in my head but there are plenty of other, more pertinent examples.
agreed. We're an after-thought for a lot of bands. But being an after-thought beats not being thought about at all.
I'm off to bump a thread
They were reviewed in the UK Independent and there was an issue with some words used re Georgia.
Anyone know what was said?

Can't be this review anyway.
hermie;
I don't know lads - I can't keep up with all the gigs these days. Everyone seems to play here now. You should have seen the early 90s. Ghost town.
Agree it used to be worse. But bands need tours for revenue now way more than ever and it still feels like we're the poor relations here. Frequently see bands I love go all around mainland Europe and UK and just not bother coming here or cancel last minute. I dunno perhaps we are a bit of a bitch logistically.
I'd say the Irish Sea + population density here make us less of a spicy meatball for international touring acts, especially of a certain size. Ireland has 5 major cities, or 3 by international standards, and they're a fair enough hike from each other, again by standards of England on much of the continent. 150 miles from Dublin to Cork or 120 from Dublin to Galway while London to Birmingham (two much, much bigger cities) is only 100 miles, then Manchester/Liverpool etc are only another 60 or 70 miles up the road. Not to mention that England must have dozens of Galway/Limerick sized towns around the place.
