Cancellation email from Southbank Centre:

Dear Customer,

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 their appearance tonight has had to be cancelled.

We are currently looking for an alternative date for this performance.

At this time we expect Saturday’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.

Southbank Centre would like to apologise for any inconvenience that this causes; you will of course be issued with a full refund to your original method of payment. If you purchased your tickets with cash, you will be sent a cheque in the post.

Credit/Debit card refunds will typically be processed within 3-5 working days.

May I take this opportunity to thank you for your valued custom at Southbank Centre.

    A friend of mine has been ringing the venue all day for confirmation that this gig is on. He was told just to keep checking back and to keeping looking at the web site. They also said they were trying their best to get GSH to the UK in time. Gonna be tight. Keeping my fingers crossed for this.

    That's right... you don't need to be a member to book today. All lower stalls gone but still a few tickets left. Let's hope he makes it this time!
