We're very sorry to announce that our special evening 'Celebrating Elliott' planned for Tuesday at Union Chapel is cancelled.

Despite months of planning this show to remember Elliott Smith at London's Union Chapel on Tuesday 17th October, we're sorry to announce the very special guest headliners and some of the acts which were to be announced tomorrow, have pulled out and we've failed to find significant replacements. This fundraiser show is not currently planned to be re-scheduled. Refunds will be available shortly from point of purchase.

Apologies to all the acts who were booked to play and to everyone who bought tickets. Please accept our sincerest apologies, we're heartbroken it isn't going ahead too.

We'd like to take this opportunity to encourage all our readers to make a donation (no matter how small) to the Elliott Smith Foundation, which this evening was raising money for. Please take a moment of your time to go HERE.

I only ever got Either/Or

but I still liked him. Not that that's relevant to this

That's a real shame. It would have been for a really good cause, and Elliott is sorely missed as well. I do hope it gets rearranged.

Elliott Tribute

If anyone can make it along, I'll be playing a set of Elliott songs on Saturday 21st October (3yrs to the day :( ) at Chris Chinchilla's show in Peckham. I'll be on earlyish and I'll also be collecting money for the Elliott Smith Foundation so any donations and support would be great.
Cheers
