news:Statement about tonight's scheduled Royal Festival Hall appearance

As you will be aware, English airspace has been closed due to volcanic ash spreading across the UK from Iceland. Unfortunately, and despite many rebooked flights and possible alternative travel arrangements, this has resulted in Gil Scott-Heron being unable to reach London and extremely regrettably his appearance has had to be cancelled. We are currently looking for an alternative date for this performance.

At this time we expect Saturday 24 April’s sold-out performance to go ahead as planned although this is dependent on flights being available. As soon as information becomes available we will update our website.

There is a proper procedure for taking advantage of any investment.

Music, for example. Buying a CD is an investment.
To get the maximum you must

LISTEN TO IT FOR THE FIRST TIME UNDER OPTIMUM CONDITIONS.

Not in your car or on a portable player through a headset.
Take it home.
Get rid of all distractions, (even him or her).
Turn off your cell phone.
Turn off everything that rings or beeps or rattles or whistles.
Make yourself comfortable.
Play your CD.
LISTEN all the way through.
Think about what you got.
Think about who would appreciate this investment.
Decide if there is someone to share this with.
Turn it on again.
Enjoy Yourself.
