[kj] Jaz spoken-word US tour is cancelled: FYI

[Alexander Smith]

Not entirely surprised, I have to say (despite the fact that I sprung for tix MONTHS ago). 

Sigh.

Alex in NYC

Sadly Jaz’ visa has been subject to delays in processing and in all good conscience we just could not leave it until the eleventh hour to make the call. Jaz would like to send sincere apologies to fans and concert promoters, thanking you all for your loyal support and make it clear that this issue will in no way affect events in the future. All planned KJ shows are going ahead as planned."
