Are any of the band members on this site as I'm seeing them this week?
Hopefully they'll come back to Darlington soon, it's been 2 years since they were here last and we absolutely loved them.
The UOGB has a New Zealand tour that's scheduled to begin on November 19, 2010. I wonder if the recent earthquake will affect the orchestra's December 1, 2010, appearance in Christchurch.
I doubt it. Metallica is due to play Chch in two weeks and they've confirmed that their concerts are still going ahead. Christchurch has come off extremely well after such a big quake and the ensuing 270+ aftershocks (of mag. 3+). In fact, they came off so well that NZ was able to say "no thanks, we're ok" to all offers of help from other nations/the UN etc. Well, that and NZ is a country expecting earthquakes, so we've got NZ$15Bn set aside for moments like this
Glad to hear that NZ in general, and Christchurch in particular, are doing well after that big quake.
