Yeah, but the invite to a private session, and all that?

That's probably the nicest cancellation / refund / alternate event ever. If you're a TG fan anyhow.

the idea of a private session sounds ok but, just think of all the people who booked flights from europe/us etc and no longer have anywhere to stay over those days...

Oh yeah, still a bit of a drag and all that, admittedly. But compared to the usual 'gig cancelled, refunds at point of purchase' that's it scenario...

yeah but you can use yr refunded money to get a place to stay, non?

"TG have decided to invite all CURRENT ticket holders to a PRIVATE RECORDING SESSION at a secret location in central London on the AFTERNOON of Sunday May 16th"

Doesn't this sound a bit small and intimate?
Won't that be difficult if all 1600 RE:TG ticket holders decide to go?

I'm guessing therefore that it isn't going to be in yer conventional recording studio

One of the musicians who was on the bill told me that the organizers didn't even bother to tell the other artists of the cancellation. Many of these artists built their spring around the event, bought their plane tickets, and probably don't care whether they get to see TG record...

I can't think of one studio in Central London that could hold 1600 odd people in a spectator fashion, they might have to do it in a venue. S'hardly Heathen Earth is it?

Will they list all 1600 people's name on the resultant "product"? it's the least the useless old bastards can do isn't it?

Throbbing Gristle as the new John Otway shokka!

Well they did it on "Heathen Earth" didn't they? mind you there was only 25 of them there

I can confirm this. It's been mostly silence from the organizers for months.

Really annoying. Right down to the press release which essentially blames the fans for not buying enough tickets. 'Only' 1600 people bought tickets. Hey Dada I'm crashing at your place on saturday and sunday, okay?

I had a very similar conversation at a gig in Vienna last night.

You're welcome, but you'll have to break in 'cos I'll be in Glasgow at the time
