Subject: Bad (very bad) news

For several reasons:
- Logistic nightmares (impossible to book hotels in London and Amsterdam in the period (eastern/Queens day periods, same problem with flights);

but most important: the total costs exceed my original estimations far beyond the 100% (225.000 Dutch Guilders = 100900 US$ = 65000 UK pound), and I see no way to fetch all that cash within such a short period - and also no way to see something of that returned, an additional problem is that most of my cash is invested in a new company and my partner-shareholders don't like the idea of removing such a large amount; I see no other option than to cancel the whole tour, I have made other calculations for a shorter tour, or a tour with only one band (which is also not fair in my opinion), but the general outcome in each case is that it isn't worth all the trouble.

My deepest excuses to all of you, I see no other way than to inform you (I hope) in time, and my apologies for any trouble this has caused.

If any of you has made any expenses so far (passports, arrangements etc.), please let me know, so I can take adequate care for the compensation of those.

CVB.

IT DIDN'T
ALL COME ABOUT!
