Thank you for not playing

"Special guests" my arse! Travis have requested that Aslan not play on July 21 when they headline Marlay Park.

According to an Aslan spokesman: "Apparently they feel they're too like the band Marillion, but we reckon they're just scared the Finglas Five will blow them off stage. So as it stands at the moment, Aslan will not be playing. Any queries about refunds should be taken up with MCD or Ticketmaster."

Support is now provided by the reconvened McAlmont & Butler and winsome Scottish popsters Mull Historical Society.
