[kj] Glasgow Shambles

[Tony Stuart]

the promoter was on facebook saying the gig was cut short missing "a couple
of songs"..

but there were seven songs remaining unplayed on the setlist...

i dont expect the promoter to put themselves out for the punters.

KJ havent bothered their arse to say anythign about it -- but they were
quick enough to appease Sheffield for missing an encore last week

lame as fuck
