Title: FAC tour - Chipping Norton 28th Oct - Cancelled?
Post by: Anna on September 05, 2007, 12:40:30 PM
Just seen on FC's website that the Chipping Norton gig on 28th October has been cancelled!?

I doubt very many people have got tickets this early, as the gig's not even listed on the Chipping Norton Theatre website yet.  But does anyone know what/why/how etc?

It was on my list of "potential ones I'd like to get to" as it's the traditional last night of the tour, lots of TAWers go to it and it's bound to be a bit of a party...

I vaguely recall being told recently that the theatre is being refurbished and may not be open in time (something like a re-opening date of December 2007).

Thanks Suzanne, it's not often you see "Cancelled" on the FC website!

Definitely down to repairs on the roof....grant money came through rather unexpectedly early & needed to be spent....opens again in time for the panto.

Given your current avatar - maybe a greek tragedy is more appropriate - you can play Cyclops!
