COVID-19

In response to the global pandemic, I am cancelling shows, and promoters are cancelling shows, for various reasons including, but not limited to, the general benefit of humanity.

Obviously nobody really knows how things are going to go, so do check back here closer to the time if you're thinking of coming to any of these events.

Thanks. Stay safe and good luck.
