Saw them in Worcester early this year (after Tonyh29 recommended). Bought tickets to see them again in Birmingham this October. For £13 its an absolute steal.
The reports I heard/read were more focused on the source of the cash/ransom. Not the actual reason for needing it, I got the impression it was swept under the rug rather swiftly.
I've seen nothing in the media about him having to pay for to be released from a locked room/flat? Whats that all about eh?? "bad people" Another honey/sausage trap maybe.
