OK, all the fun is over. NME have pulled the page announcing the gig and Dotmusic are now saying "the Roadmender's promoter has just contacted dotmusic to inform us that the gig is not taking place."
The title track from the first album, Emergency On Planet Earth was released in the UK as a single today in 1993. In 1998, Deeper Underground dropped 4 places today to number 9 in the UK singles chart.
