NEWS - FAIRPORT CANCELLED
WESSEX ACOUSTIC NEWS
Fairport Convention were
appearing at Wessex Acoustic Folk Club in their seated acoustic format as part
of their Spring Tour for 2012, however action taken on their behalf, and
unknown to them until now, meant Fairport Convention were also booked into the
Lighthouse arts centre in Poole for 1st November 2012 and, unfortunately, this
concert is being advertised and tickets are on sale already. In a time of
recession, people are cautious how they spend their money. The 'big guns'
advertising policy of the Lighthouse has killed our ticket sales and we are
unable to sell enough tickets for our smaller, more intimate concert to be
viable. The band are as disappointed, as we are, but appreciate our problems
and have amicably agreed a cancellation of our concert.
Those of you who had already
purchased tickets for May 25th will either get your cheques returned or a full
refund issued a.s.a.p.
Our humblest apologies for any
disappointment or inconvenience caused.
Please continue to support Wessex
Acoustic and Fairport Convention.
Don't forget Fairport's own
festival at Cropredy in August! www.fairportconvention.com
The next gig at Wessex Acoustic
is on June 22nd with the delightful duo, Corncrow. More about that nearer the
time.
