I'm not really, I just thought people might wanna know so I copy & pasted from the press release.

[John Brainlove]

"Due to a very heavy touring schedule, and the constant pressure and continued harassment from outside sources, the band have unfortunately made the decision to cancel the shows this weekend in Norwich (14th Oct), Coventry (15th) and London's Koko (16th Oct). The decision has not been taken lightly and the band apologises to their fans for any inconvenience caused, especially to those in Norwich as this gig has already been rescheduled from the 2nd October after Peter was held by the police in Shrewsbury (1st October) and was unable to make the journey from Shrewsbury to Norwich in time. Refunds will be available from point of purchase."
