.........not surprising after the Holland 'postponement'.

However , as the above link shows , Laura is going ahead with her own 'stand alone' shows in York and Birmingham on July 24/25th.

Thanks for the info John - just got me some York tickets instead of Manchester.

Lucinda Williams fans waited and waited and waited June 18 for the singer-songwriter to take the stage at Hawkins Amphitheater. Slowly, irritated fans headed for the exits after Williams failed to appear more than 30 minutes after her scheduled start time, and more than an hour after opener Lisa Sanders finished her set, according to sources who were at the show.
If you’re wondering what happened, the 150 or so who stuck around until about 10 p.m. were treated to a 60-minute set from Williams, after the show had officially been canceled, sources said.
Before her appearance, Williams was on her tour bus, but failed to come out to perform on time, according to a statement from the Washoe County Department of Regional Parks and Open Space, which oversees the Hawkins Amphitheater at Bartley Ranch. No explanation was given to County staff by the artist or her management as to why Williams didn’t start as scheduled.

Well, I've just rung the Bridgewater Hall, and they told me that the concert is going ahead as planned. Maybe we know something they don't. Or maybe it's just the support that's been cancelled. The mystery deepens...

Thanks for the heads up John,

Dissapointing about the Paradiso, but I'm going to enjoy Amsterdam anyway.

1 shred of hope? Despite Laura's site, The Sage (Gateshead) & The Carling Academy (Glasgow) haven't yet officially heard anything from Lucinda's Management, as was the case at 13.46 today. Probably wont get ahead-but you never know.

See you all at Brmingham & York-if nowhere else

Thank you for your enquiry, at present I have not been told by the promoter that the show is not going ahead.
