'Musique Action Internationale' festival
Peter didn't show up for this concert
and instead Peter Blegvad with Anton Fier & Chris Stamey performed
that night.
Here is
Peter's explanation
printed in the French magazine Notes.
Peter Hammill
After the disappointment regarding the cancellation of Peter Hammill's tour,
notably his stops in Vandoeuvre and Reims, we received a letter from him:
and to hide nothing from our readers, here is a reproduction of that letter.
My friends--
I must apologize... I will not be coming to France during my next tour. I
would like you to understand that the responsibility for this cancellation -
the fault - isn't mine. In brief, it was impossible for me to consider doing
these concerts after two months of uncertainties, changes, silences, late or
mysterious telexes, I have no confidence in the promoter. After fifteen
years, I need a certain amount of Professionalism with the arrangements. I
offer my regrets and hope that I can come soon. Finally, please transmit
this message to all those who you know that are disappointed by my absence.
Please be lenient regarding my French!!
Peter Hammill
*Translation might not be perfect, so be lenient also ;-)
