Hello.
I'll try to keep it brief, as I've been saying this stuff to several lists in the last few days, but...
Firstly, an introduction: My name is Clive - some of you may know me from some other lists - mainly the Cabaret Voltaire Yahoo group. I'm a general electronic music fan, but specialisms include Richard H. Kirk and In The Nursery(!) and in the last few years, I've rediscovered electropop. ...Which brings me to my real reason for writing...
Last Thursday, I received a newsletter from Ghostly International, in which they mentioned (almost in passing!) that Solvent would be playing twice in London, this weekend. Well, to cut a long story short, he is now only playing once: at the 333 club in Old Street, tomorrow night. The second gig, which was scheduled for Monday at the Phonica record shop has been cancelled. Thus, if you can still see a date for the 13th at Phonica on the following links, just disregard it!
Here's the relevant sites for both the lone London gig, plus the rest of the European mini-tour, in Manchester, Spain and Portugal:

FWIW, I know that his agent is trying to reschedule a replacement gig, but with such a tight shedule anyway, I don't know how likely this will be.
Anyway - any takers out there in idm-land? :-)
By the way, may I also take this opportunity to draw attention to the splendid list of upcoming gigs at the Spitz club, in London. In particular, note the 30th January:
