Dizzy Storm Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 bugger!! recieved this email yesterday....'...this morning the band arrived at Gatwick airport but were detained by immigration because they did not have work permits. There are number of ways which bands can usually get round this but customs were being extra tight and would definately not let them in the country on the basis that they're playing to paying customers, regardless of whether they're getting paid, even though this means they're technically not 'working' and thus do not meet the requirements for visa applications. They therefore have had to cancel their performances and will be catching a flight back to the states tomorrow morning. I am extremely sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you, and the band, Mark In At The Deep End and myself are very grateful for all the effort you've put in to promote your show....'The Once Over Twice are still willing to play so im just waiting to hear back if thats going ahead....sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydoll Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Aawww disappointing - I was looking forward to this one as well but all is not lost as The Once Over Twice are supposed to be ace as well Also just noticed Man Inc., Tennesee Kait and Zillah in the bands coming to Drakes bit - they haven't played yet have they?
