A bout of illness has been blamed for the very last-minute cancellation of Matt Corby’s show at the Enmore Theatre on Tuesday April 12.

Update: tonight’s show (Wednesday April 13) has also been postponed. Scroll down for more information.

Corby, who was set to perform the second of three hometown shows in support of his well-received debut album,Telluric, when the illness struck – leaving a theatre full of eager fans disappointed but largely understanding.

While the BRAG cannot yet confirm the nature of the illness, it must have been sudden – the announcement of the cancellation was made ten minutes before Corby’s set was scheduled to begin. The support act Vera Blue had already performed.

Update:Matt Corby has now announced the postponement of his show tonight, Wednesday April 13, as his “voice is in a bad way”.
