TYGERS OF PAN TANG Forced to Cancel UK Gig

NWOBHM act TYGERS OF PAN TANG have issued the following update regarding the cancellation of their March 15th show at Holmfirth Picturedome in Huddersfield, UK:

"It appears we seem destined never to play at Holmfirth Picturedrome, firstly our recording schedule caused the show to be re-arranged and now a long term commitment from the venue has come to light to celebrate St. Patricks day. The venue sends its deepest apologies for this double booking and hold there hands up to to a simple administration error on there part. We have as yet no plans to re-arrange this date but hopefullly we can return later in the year. All tickets will be subject to a full refund at the place of purchase.

To compensate for the cancellation our agent has booked Tygers to play The Gasworks in Bradford on April 18th which is very local to Holmfirth. Also note we are playing at Leeds Rios on February 9th and both will be great nights of Hard Rock. We will be slightly lengthening the set after April to include two further tracks from the new album Animal Instinct so if you can attend both shows do so as they will be slightly diffferent. Both these venues are two of the best on the circuit for sound and visibility.

Apologies from Tygers of Pan Tang for any inconvenience the above announcement may cause."
