CHANGE OF DATE
Due to an unforeseen change in the Spirit of Tasmania running times the promoters have had to move the Hobart performance from Tuesday 14 September to tonight, Monday 13 September. This ensured that all the band's Tassie fans will see the exact production that is touring on the mainland and that all five of the semi-trailers made it across the waters on time. The band and management are extremely sorry if this has caused any inconvenience. Venue details and line-up remain unchanged. All tickets for Tuesday remain valid for tonight and anyone requiring a refund due to not being able to attend tonight are asked to contact their point of purchase.
