Show Notes:
Like all evenings, the band was contracted two play two sets with an interval. At the end of the first set, Ginger collapses and is rushed to hospital. Eric told the press, “Ginger had been taking pain-killing tablets for sinus trouble which developed last year. He had a couple of drinks tonight and the two reacted.” Due to Ginger’s illness, the next three shows (4, 5 and 7 December) are cancelled.
