In my previous message to 313 I asked what I should look forward to in seeing
these two at the End on Saturday (here comes the sob story): I'm a 19 year old
student and have been listening to this music for a while now, ever since a
1993 mix tape of derrick may, and as he never seems to play close to where I
live (the Midlands of the UK) I have yet to see him play. I eventually got the
weekend off work after a very hard time, and saved up the money to go down to
London, full of joy at finally seeing him and the Suburban Knight, but both
cancelled!!! Now I'm not sure what the reason was for this (can anyone tell me
what happened?) it may be legit, but I've heard too many stories of Derrick not
turning up. Now I love Derrick and have got all of his stuff, and him doing
this will not change my views on the guy but it does upset me. We pay his
wages and for him to do this so consistently shows a blatant disregard for his
many loyal fans who I'm sure have travelled far further than me.
Still love u Derrick + hoping there was a real reason for the no show to prove
me wrong.
