16 Sep 08	THINKING OF YOU JIM

14 Sep 08	SLIM JIM - BREAKING NEWS - AN UPDATE Hey everyone! Firstly Jim would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has emailed the site, signed the guestbook or messaged us via myspace since his accident at Brixton - to say we've been inundated would be an understatement! We're completely overwhelmed by your kind and thoughtful messages. We know that those of you who were due to attend one of the three remaining shows are extremely disappointed about the cancellations but your unselfish reaction and heartfelt concern for Jim has really blown us away. You truly are "the best"! Secondly we wanted to give you an update on Jim's situation. He's back home, taking it easy but in a lot of pain. He will be having surgery on his wrist on Tuesday (16th). He'll be in a cast for 6 weeks or so and will then need physio rehab on the arm. The prognosis is very good and The Phantom will be back bangin' n' yellin' in plenty of time for the Australian tour. Once again we can't thank you enough for your support and messages. We're happy to know that you'll all be thinking of Jim on Tuesday. From the Phantom's Lair, Jim and Faith Note: Faith is attempting to reply to all your emails individually but please bear with her, there's a lot to get through!!

11 Sep 08	STRAY CATS - IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - REST OF TOUR CANCELLED It is with the greatest regret that we have to announce that the rest of the Stray Cats European Tour has been cancelled; this affects the Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin shows. We are incredibly sorry for the disappointment that this will cause. As many of you already know Jim fell and broke his arm at last night's show; specifically he has broken his wrist in 3 places and is now in a plaster cast up to his elbow. He had hoped that he would be able to play tonight but as you will understand it is just not feasible for Jim to do this against his doctor's advice. Jim is devastated by this turn of events. Thank you all so much for your understanding and for the kind messages that have already been flooding into the site after last night's accident. Apart from his understandable disappointment about cancelling the last 3 shows he wants you all to know that he's doing fine and thanks you for your support and well wishes.

11 Sep 08	STRAY CATS - GOOD NEWS AND BAD Anyone who was at the Brixton Academy last night witnessed a truly AMAZING performance by the kings of Rockabilly. What an INCREDIBLE show!! Three encores, including a guest appearance by Dave Edmunds, and the crowd was still shouting for more! At the end of the show Jim took a fall off the stage and "sprained" his right arm. However, a doctor's check-up has revealed that he has in fact broken the arm in three places and it's now in a plaster cast. Very bad!! Incredibly, Jim has asked me to let you know that he intends to try and play tonight's gig in Manchester (against doctor's orders!) as planned. So he'll see you at the Academy. THANK YOU all so much for your support of Jim and the Cats. STRAY CATS ~ Live tonight : Manchester Academy, Manchester, UK ~ REGRETTABLY THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED
