COSMOGRAF/ GUNGFLY LONDON AND MANCHESTER SHOWS CANCELLED
It’s with deep regret that we have to announce the cancellation of the Cosmograf/ Gungfly shows scheduled for 1st and 2nd October 2021 at Powerhaus London and Manchester Academy.
As you know these shows were already re-scheduled from October 2020 and we had no idea at the time that the COVID situation would endure for such an extended period. Since then BREXIT has further complicated the travelling situation where bands from Europe can no longer travel freely within Europe to play, with the costs and paperwork in order to do so becoming far too prohibitive for the limited budget we were working to. As a result we were left in a complete no-mans land of not knowing if gigs were going to be allowed to go ahead this year, whether Rikard’s band could even travel to the UK and what the new costs of doing so would be. The risk of significant financial loss or being unable to play, was therefore too great so we have taken the decision to cancel these combined shows.
The planned Cosmograf appearance at Summer’s End on the 3rd October is still scheduled to go ahead but this is very much subject to the government restrictions on whether the event is still allowed to happen and whether we are allowed enough time to rehearse together as a band.
For ticket refunds please contact the venues or vendors themselves. Emails should have been sent out from them with details on this.
We are really disappointed not to be able to play and apologise for the disappointment. We hope we will still get a chance to hit the stage at Summer’s End and will keep you posted on developments for shows further down the line..
