I'm an idiot. June 10th 2000 Hello there! Yes, I know, it has been a long long time since I last wrote, my apologies, but we really have been busy. Right now I am on am on a small holiday, and as soon as I return I promise to write some more detailed stuff. There is however something important that I want to talk about right now. A week ago on June 3rd, we were supposed to play a show near Leipzig in Germany, at the Woodstage Festival. As many of you may already know, we decided not to play the show. I understand that many of you were, and probably still are very angry or disappointed that we did not play. Let me try to explain why. We arrived at the venue, to receive bad reports from our crew. Firstly it was apparent that the security for the band could not be guaranteed. The backstage security to put it kindly was very lax. There was no guarantee for our safety, and our concern in the band goes mainly for our female front person Dolores. As well as the security issue, we also had a problem with the size of the stage. It was too small for us to set up the show we want to deliver. Upon booking the show, we were advised of completely different stage conditions. With these things in mind we decided not to play the show. Poor security was the main reason for our decision. Our sincere apologies to all Cran fans that made the journey to see us. We hope you will understand. I also have an apology to our Scandinavian fans. We did a show in Umea, Sweden that we did not at all list on our website. This was not intentional, simply an oversight on our behalf. Ooops! Sorry. We will punish the webmaster. Also, SPANISH FANS, some news for you. We have added an extra show in GIJON on Wednesday 26th July at the City Festival. We hope that this will also in some way make up for the cancelled Esparragorock show. I am afraid I have some bad news for our Turkish fans. Our show there has been cancelled, as the promoter backed out. This is a situation beyond our control. It's a real pity; we were so looking forward to playing in Istanbul. That's it for now. Many thanks to you all for your patience with us and this website. Slan for now, - -Fergal.

Proudly, I met Fergal, Dolores, and Noel at their small Chicago concert in Spring 1999. I was surprised to see how short Fergal was but he was incredibly nice. Noel and Mike were very shy (Mike more so) but Dolores was just gorgeous. (This was in her long blonde hair stage.) She was very concerned whether or not I liked the concert and believe me, I assured her that it was the best concert I'd seen yet. She and Noel signed Noel's set list I got from one of the stage guys after the show. Needless to say, it's priceless to me! The concert at the Riveria Theatre was very small, maybe 1500-2000 people. It was their pre-world tour swing of the U.S. I met them by hanging out at the stage door before and after the show and making quick friends with the security guards. Slan! Dolly Housholder. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2000 20:41:09 -0400 From: Jean-Francois Goyette Subject: %Cran: I got The Complete Sessions!!!!

I finally got the complete sessions at Record Runner in Ottawa ( www.recordrunner.on.ca ) and it was only 35$ compared to 50$ at HMV. The packaging is great although I was expecting something a bit more elaborate (like the FTD pop up single). The CD looks packaging looks like The Beatles Limited Edition White Album CD. Its aslo kinda made to look like a vynil. I didn't want to open TCS at first beacuse of the sticker (I didn,t want to rip it) but I managed to take it off and stick it on a plastic sheet. anyways, bye bye for now jean¾francois - -- bye bye for now jean|francois ================================================================ Jean-Francois Goyette (Fluoberry) E-mail me at dbgoyet@videotron.ca or cranberries@limerick.co.uk ICQ # 71892881 Webmaster of the Waltzing Back Website: http://pages.infinit.net/fluo1 ...And of The CranExchange: http://pages.infinit.net/fluo1/cranex "When we wrote this song two years ago, it was about terrorism in Ireland.
