Toronto and Montreal cancelled :: news
December 07, 2009
Dear all,
Kind of gutted about this, since our Canadian shows were definitely going to be one of the highlights of this tour for me (the Vancouver gig just went to show that) – but we are going to have to pull our shows in Toronto and Montreal. This is following the theft of my passport, containing my American visa.
We were parked behind the venue in Portland when someone broke into our van, where they pinched my bag containing my laptop with unfinished songs, sketchpad, notebook, ipod… and my passport.
As some of you might know, US immigration are pretty… strict. So the long and short of it is that even though I have a visa, chances are I won’t be let back in the country without the physical copy of it. And if you’ve been denied entry once, that’s basically going to make things very difficult for you for the rest of eternity.
So sorry – we’ll make it up on the next tour!
Simon

Ahhhh, come to North America in the summer! It sucks that you had to cancel so many shows due to bad weather and theft ;_;
Will bake something for you all the next time you come to Minneapolis! What do you all like to eat? :D

Wow, that sucks! Of all the crap luck.
Hey, by the way, I hear that it’s pretty easy to get into Australia…! Would love to see you guys out here! Especially in Wollongong! (it’s an hour south of Sydney, nice little city :D)

I’m a long time admirer of the group and was really looking forward to Fanfarlo’s December show in Toronto. At least we can listen to your Washington concert on NPR (the best music site on the internet).

Oh snap! Good thing I stopped by here before heading to the show tonight. Sad too hear y’all couldn’t make it to Montreal this time around. We’ll show you some proper love on your next stop.

Well, 3 of us hit a closed door at the Montreal concert. Never heard of that cancellation, you have no idea how disapointed we were, we just love your music. Sorry about your passport. See you soon. Happy Holidays!
