Probably a financial thing. Anyway, we saw Colin doing a solo set supporting Lloyd Cole earlier in the year and it was a great set - despite the fact that he had the flu at the time. Well worth making the effort. And the Hothouse Flowers used to be pretty good too. Not seen them for about 14 years - and haven't heard their recent stuff - but they were one of my favourites at the time.
