I read this on Barbara's website and thought I should pass it along to those of you who are/were expecting to hear her play this weekend:

Hi to all of you.

This is a quick post to explain why I will not be at the show at the Warehouse in Calgary this Friday February 13th.

It is really a shame what happened!

Both my agent and the promoter have signed a contract and agreed to all the terms of it, but due to some very un-excusable circumstances the promoter has breached the contract and has backed off and cancelled this date.
The thing is that he cancelled the date only for me and I think that the night is still going on so I wouldn't be surprised if flyers with my name have been distributed or removed, but I would tend to say that if there has been any kind of promotion involved with my name for the show on Friday then this will inevitably hurt my name very much once again and create a bunch of useless discussions regarding the subject once again.

My message to you is that I was really looking forward to go play in Calgary on Friday as it was going to be the first official booking with my new North American agency Blue Bookings and so it was going to be a fresh thing for me and completely unrelated to the Helene Mollison & Cosmack USA drama, but since many people in this business are turning less and less professional now, I will be staying home on Friday when I could have gone out and play for someone else.

It is a shame, but at least the NYC promoters for Saturday night at Arc are still on for the date and so I will definitely be in NYC this Saturday! And looking forward to it!
I hope it is going to be a fun gig and I hope to see you all there.

As for Calgary, I am terribly sorry to disappoint many of you once again but at least you know what happened.

If you can pass the word and explain this to people by telling them to disregard any promotional material with my name on, I would greatly appreciate!

Thanks a lot and hope this won't hurt too much...
Things have become heavy on my TRUTH posts and I look forward to solve all these problems to get back on the road with some funny stories and some bubbles!

Barbara
