So, we\u2019ve taken the decision to move the shows to February 2022 in the hope that we will all be free of these Damned restrictions, and can put on the show that we all want to do; uncompromisingly exciting with everyone in the room!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This is also the anniversary month of 45 years since the release of <em>Damned Damned Damned<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">New dates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;All tickets bought will be valid for these new dates. We will announce exact new dates and exciting full supporting line-up on 7th April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Damned Covid!
