No UK tour?

Stuart's post on the forum this afternoon appears to confirm that Mogwai will not be touring the UK to promote 'The Hawk Is Howling':

Q:" Any plans for more home shows this year?"
A: "None as yet other than a few festivals in the summer. SB"

Disappointing to say the least. Raises some interesting questions, more of which when/if this is confirmed.

Update: "We're only booking shows up until the summer at the moment." Thanks Stuart. Here's hoping for an autumn 2009 UK tour then.
