York indie-rock band Shed Seven were delayed returning from performances in Belfast and Dublin after Storm Boelo forced flight cancellations.
York indie-rock band Shed Seven were delayed returning home after performances in Belfast and Dublin last weekend due to travel chaos caused by Storm Boelo. The band performed at Belfast Mandela Hall on Friday and at Vicar Street in Dublin on Saturday. They returned to Great Britain on Monday, 26 October, a day late on a 6am flight, arriving at the wrong airport with no sleep.
On their Facebook page, the band referenced their 1996 single On Standby, writing: 'In the wrong place at the wrong time. Back in Blighty on the 6am flight, a day late, the wrong airport, no sleep.' The post included a photo of frontman Rick Witter and guitarist Paul Banks.
Storm Boelo forced the cancellation of flights from Dublin to Leeds Bradford and caused wider cancellations and diversions at the Yorkshire airport and across the UK. Fans who attended the Dublin and Belfast shows also experienced disruptions, with some booking ferries and trains as alternatives to complete their journeys home.
