Ballinluig cancelled!

Unfortunately the forthcoming City Sinners gig on 3rd Oct at Ballinluig hall has been cancelled. Poor ticket sales are blamed and apparently a couple of other gigs in the area over the summer suffered too. A real shame as we went down a storm when we played there at this time last year...
