Stompin' Tom cancels Lulu's gig
By JANE STEVENSON -- Toronto Sun

Stompin' Tom Connors isn't going to play Lulu's in Kitchener on New Year's Eve after all.

The marketing department of the legendary roadhouse sent out a terse press release yesterday saying Connors' Dec. 31 date had been cancelled "due to lack of interest." The Canadian country music legend told The Toronto Sun in an interview earlier this month he was going to break a 20-year plus moratorium on playing New Year's Eve shows with the Lulu's gig because "this is the millennium after all." The venue holds about 3,000 people.
