Chasing Abbey forced to CANCEL tonight's Olympia gig after illness scuppers band's 'absolute dream' of playing sold-out show

Culchie Kids Chasing Abbey have cancelled tonight's sold-out Olympia concert.

The three-piece band were forced to postpone the show due to illness telling fans they were gutted to bring the news.

The Offaly R&B group made the gutting announcement this morning promising fans they'll honour all tickets and will strive to get a new date as soon as possible.

A Dublin pub is about to start selling Buckfast ice cream just in time for summer 

They said: "Dublin, to sell out the Olympia Theatre was an absolute dream.

"It is with a heavy heart we are unable to perform tonight's show.

"We are completely gutted and could not wait to see you tonight, but unfortunately an illness has decided otherwise.

"So grateful for the support, and so sorry to have to move this show. Ro, Ted, Bee."
