Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Also we realise we could've just said the show was cancelled due to unforeseen difficulties but that's not our way. We're not ashamed to admit that the arts sector is really challenging right now unless you're an arena act or willing to take money from places that no self respecting person would.

A big thank you to those of you who did buy tickets, we're sorry to have to do this but Nine Lessons is an annual labour of love for us, with all profits going to charity without us taking a penny above costs so we can't justify it actively losing money. The venue will arrange your refunds.

Sorry to say we've made the difficult decision to cancel the Nine Lessons show in Cardiff. There was sadly a large disconnect between the number of people asking us to come to Cardiff & the number of people who actually got a ticket. Full steam ahead for London! www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/nin...

Very sad that I will not be able to perform for nine lessons this year in Cardiff. @cosmicshambles.com do this for the love of sharing science, art, & stories & make no money personally. If you like things like that buy tickets to support local events and help maintain the joy of spreading stories.

Cardiff is so obsessed with stadium gigs, anything smaller and interesting is getting crowded out and people don't know whats on...

Get the word our Cardiff peeps! Or we'll end up with nothing but pop music and tribute acts...
