Ashes to Ashes have had to cancel some of their upcoming shows - the ones in Sydney and Canberra that were originally set to take place in in late August. Their bass player has left the band which also means they are on the search of a new bass player.

A further cancellation in Canberra is the night that the NFSA was to screen rare Bowie videos (to coincide with the 90th Anniversary of Decca). We can only hope now that this is rescheduled a bit further down the track.
