Found this interview I did with the lovely Rik Mayall back in my days of local inkies in West London. What a man.

Was half expecting it and the reports from the first few shows, but a shame.

I certainly won’t be getting tickets again. That’s if they even bother.

They had put up the set times a few hours earlier so must’ve unravelled quite quickly.

Saw that and it didn’t give me great hopes for tonight.

Looks like that’s now my plan.

Pretty sure they cancelled the last time I booked for them as well.
