We have received reports of on-line tickets scams targeting those keen to attend upcoming concerts, festivals, and sporting events.
Kent Trading Standards is warning people to be wary of 'tickets' on offer on rogue, yet apparently genuine, websites especially when the event is to be likely to be sold out. With internet purchases knowing who you are dealing with is vital so before even considering a purchase, check the site's credentials as it should give the name and address of the business running it.
 
Putting the name of the purported agency into an internet search engine will usually flag up any comments made about this particular business, but no news is not necessarily good news as it could be a new site. Be particularly careful with .co.uk internet addresses as it is not a guarantee that the people running the site are based in the UK.
 
Advice is to stick to the promoters or reputable ticket agencies for ticket purchases as well as information about availability and validity. If you have any concerns concerning a website then you can contact Trading Standards via Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06 for advice.

Alfie St George
Come Follow Me - World Cup Single
Genre: Pop
Red Admiral Records
REDAD CDS563

Release date: 18th May 2010
The hit single “Come Follow Meâ€ð was written by Russ Williams & Barry Upton using the melody from the 2002 Belgium Eurovision Song entry “Follow Meâ€ð by Tony Cobana. The original song had mass appeal for its upbeat tempo and catchy tune. In August 2009 Russ started penning the lyrics and looking for the team that has bought you “Come Follow Meâ€ð by “Alfie St Georgeâ€ð.
The team are:
Russ Williams (Alfie St George) – Professional Entertainer for over 25 years. Russ has had a life in the entertainment industry starting at the mere age of 11 as a child actor. This led to an extensive DJ career that saw him spinning the wheels across the globe and presenting on many radio stations in the UK. In 1992 he progressed to being a full time Comedian & After Dinner Speaker. This has led to 1000’s of performances worldwide and many national UK tours, notably with Freddie Starr, Joe Longthorne, Alexander O’Neal & Englebert Humperdinck. The prestigious title of “Comedian of the Yearâ€ð was awarded to Russ in 2000, with further honours of Captain and Chairman of the Comedians Golfing Society in 2003 & 2004. Through the years Russ has appeared on many TV shows for the BBC, ITV, CH4 & SKY. The working name of “Alfie St Georgeâ€ð was derived from combining King Alfred & our patron St George by Russ to bring mass appeal to the England fans.
Barry Upton – Creator of the Million sellers “Stepsâ€ð, Multi Hit Writer and Producer. Barry has had a long and fruitful career in the music business starting 1977 where in 1982 he progressed to being part of the band “Brotherhood Of Manâ€ð. In 1990 Barry got his first major publishing deal with Simon Cowell, this lead to a string hit singles with various artistes including “Soniaâ€ð & “Fat Boy Slimâ€ð. 1996 Barry and Steve Crosby created “STEPSâ€ð and the multi-million seller “5678â€ð. To date Barry has written and produced hundreds of tracks worldwide.

Mike Fowler
- Experienced Writer, Producer, Musician and Artiste Manager.
Mike is a working musician, yes they do exist! Mike works at Fareham College, Hampshire and is course leader of the BTEC National Diploma in Music Performance. Mike has worked closely with Barry Upton on many recording projects and features on several tracks on Barry’s latest album. ‘Come Follow Me’ was recorded at Mike’s professional studio and co-produced by Barry Upton. His most memorable live musical moment so far was supporting “The Monkeesâ€ð with his Band “The Murmurs of Irmaâ€ð on their 2002 UK tour.

The song “Three Lions Blazingâ€ð is dedicated to the true fans of English football and specifically celebrates the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The rousing song and video performance by the Pelican Babies encapsulates the enthusiasm and heart felt passion that no doubt will grip the nation in the coming months. Pelican Babies will also be supporting the Great Ormond Street Hostpital Children’s Charity by donating royalties from itunes downloads. Creted for a good cause, could this be the alternative to the Baddiel & Skinner song?
