In what has to be one of the most unusual and unfortunate reasons to cancel a show ever, Richard Thompson has had to scrub his April tour — which included an April 20 stop at the Latchis Theatre in Brattleboro — because of a scorpion sting he sustained on his right hand while on vacation last week in Mexico.
Hilltown Music is hoping to reschedule the concert for sometime between Oct. 9-29, but for fans of this under-appreciated brilliant musician, the news must be a blow.
Hilltown Music is asking if people would consider holding onto their tickets until a new date is scheduled. If you know you'll be unable to attend in October, tickets purchased via credit card will be refunded through www.brattleborotix.com. In the meantime, check www.hilltownfolk.com for details on when the concert might be rescheduled. In the meantime, don't pet any scorpions.
