24th July 1999, Irving Plaza Gig Cancelled. Re-Scheduled for August 2nd!

The Beautiful South concert at the Irving Plaza has been cancelled by The Beautiful South due to a strike at the venue.

The concert, which was set to be the only gig headed by the band in the USA, was cancelled just 4 Hours before they were due to appear at 20:00.

The band's politics came into action as apparently one stagehand held the picket line in strike due to bad treatment from the management at the venue. After a sound check at 4pm the band left for a local pub and the gig was then cancelled.

This latest cancellation has brought some strong feeling from fans of the band who travelled to the event only to find it had been cancelled due to a picket line which had been in place since 20th July, 4 Days earlier!

The gig has now been re-scheduled for Monday August 2nd at the Supper Club 240W 47th NYC. All original tickets will still be valid and all times remain the same.
