We regret to inform you that Altan Urag, for reasons beyond their control, will unfortunately be unable to perform at the concert scheduled in London for 13 January at The Relentless Garage. This concert will therefore be rescheduled for another date in 2010, and we shall keep you informed as soon as the new arrangements are made.

Altan Urag is very disappointed at not being able to meet their UK fans as planned, and apologise unreservedly for the inconvenience this has caused. They are looking forward to seeing you as soon as possible.

Those who have already paid for tickets may either:

(1) keep the ticket and use it for admittance to the rescheduled concert (as mentioned above, we shall make sure to advise you)

OR

(2) get a refund.

News Update: Freezing Cold in Mongolia

It's freezing. Two days ago, I parked my car outside for 3 hours without starting it or heating it, and it turned into an ice box. Wouldn't start. I called the trusty 1950 and asked the operator to send someone over. A taxi drove up to the car after 5 minutes, and the driver spent the next 30 minutes doing his best to rescue my ice cube on wheels. Unfortunately, nothing worked. Even the good ole Mongolian method of grilling the engine bits and the spark plugs with a makeshift blowtorch failed to bring it back to life. After 20 mins standing outside, I could no longer feel my fingers and toes. It was and still is that cold. -36 degrees Celsius cold.

We are on the second of the nine nines, as Mongolians call it. These are the coldest 81 days of winter, that start around winter equinox. And until the first 4 or 5 nines are behind us, the weather doesn't look promising for cars, toes and fingers. The temperatures will, probably, get better after Tsagaan Sar, which is on the 14th of February this year, so far, though I'm fairly certain there will be disputes over the exact Tsagaan Sar date come February.
