“Will I See You in September?”

Those anxious to experience Chapterhouse live for the first time (or for the first time in a long time) will have to wait a little longer.  Hey… if you could wait 14 years, what’s a few months?

Yes, the infamous volcano, that ash-y mother near Eyjafjalla Glacier in South Iceland, is to blame for further disappointment in the musical world.  Due to travel delays and visa issues, the legendary British band has had to postpone their North American tour.

The band released a statement on their official website, a detailed explanation that outlines Stephen Patman’s misfortune following their Japanese tour dates: flight delays left Patman, Chapterhouse cornerstone, unable to apply for an artist visa in time to commit to planned May dates.

Still, Chapterhouse emphasizes that their North American tour has only been postponed and not cancelled.  They look to re-schedule for the second half of September as Ashley Bates’ alternate project, Tunng, provides further schedule conflicts. Fans who purchased tickets for the May shows will be able to use them for the projected dates, which the band plans to confirm in the weeks to come.
