Ash are delaying there decision on whether they will play their Reading set until tomorrow morning, just hours before are due to take to the stage. The band’s manager Stephen Taverner has posted an entry on the band's official website saying they are putting back their decision on whether to play from Thursday to Saturday, giving drummer Rick McMurray a couple more days to recover from the bus crash that left him with cracked ribs. Taverner said he had flown to Belfast to speak to McMurray, who was worried playing could make his injuries worse - doctors have told the drummer he would be taking a risk by playing for more than 10 minutes. The band are also due to play at an Xfm promoted gig a week today at Ocean in Hackney – though the station’s Christian O’Connell has a fourteen year old listener lined up to fill in on drums if necessary!
