Alas, Santa brought the man Covid for Christmas and he's struggled to recover. It's also affected his voice. So, that's that. It's taken over 2 years and several postponements to get to this point. That's 3 gigs I think I've had tickets for since the start of the pandemic and not been able to get to any of them; Francis with his talk thingy, Quo in Gateshead and now Rhino in Kinross. I really should follow younger acts

I bet if truth be known that’s probably one of the reasons why it’s cancelled as he is giving himself time to get fully fit for the Quo tour. I know what you mean about cancellations, I’ve had a few myself. I hadn’t bought my tickets yet for this very reason.

He has to be fit for his day job and will have either taken the decision himself or been told to have a bit of a think. The financial ramifications of a cancelled Quo tour will be on a different level. Especially as most gigs seem to be close to being sold out.

Let’s hope that if the the tour goes ahead, the band a crew make it through without getting covid. It’s a reasonably lengthy tour so the odds are against them. I’m guessing they’ll have some strict rules in place regarding mixing with people .

I had a chat with a fellow Quo fan this weekend who runs a vinyl shop in a nearby town. He agreed that the forthcoming Quo tour would quite rightly have priority over Rhino's own tour. I've had an email from the pub about the cancelled show, and they say refunds will be made next week. If it's anything like last time, they will retain the booking fee of £1.50. Last time I complained and they refunded that too!

Talking of vinyl, Rhino's album arrived this morning. The advert for it makes the record look a shiny gold but, I have to say, it's more a sort of beige with marks on it like it's been kicked across the floor. Let's be kind and call it marbling Sis displays her coloured vinyl along with the album cover in special frames. But she's swithering about this one

Didn't think it was a particularly Scottish word. Maybe it is. Anyway, it means having second thoughts or mulling it over. Thinking about it. That sort of thing

I was waiting to get the cd at the gig, so it looks like I’m gonna have to order from Rhinos website instead

If you were thinking along those lines. Well, actually, I didn't read it. Mrs Mortified, the font of all Facebook knowledge, told me Great track listing on the CD. I haven't played it yet but I will do this week some time

So as expected I got a refund from the venue, and they've kept the £1.65 booking fee. Perhaps for the small venues this is necessary, and this is just a small pub. But when Quo cancelled the tour when Rick had the throat cancer scare (I think this was back in 2005) the BIC refunded all the cost, including the booking fee.

My sister got a full refund as well. Although, I'm not sure about the booking fee. She'd paid for the tickets and the hotel and we were to square up when we got to the gig.
She had a fight with the hotel who said the rooms were non-refundable but they relented in the end. No doubt with one eye on the fact that Rhino might play there again. He has done twice before.
I see he's added a couple of gigs next month to keep his hand in, so at least he's fully recovered. Seemed to floor him a bit though.

I've just checked locations, and the Chichester one is the closest to me. However, the idea of driving 40 miles each way on a Friday evening after a week at work is not that appealing. I'd booked a ticket to see him in Winchester as I live there!

Three replacement gigs pencilled in for this weekend are now also cancelled due to the dreaded Covid in the camp. Rhino is also still struggling a bit so Jim Kirkpatrick will play an acoustic solo set instead. Be worth seeing that I think Rhino's gigs have been rescheduled for October.
