Cheltsoulnights Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I have decided to go public with this I went to the last Soulfusion event. prior to this the promoter (who is on here) was in touch with me reference a problem with one of his punters who had previously attacked me at my own event. Within minutes of arriving with my wife, this punter started a heated row with me. I was 4 steps from reception and the promoter and his security stayed back. The punter then attacked me and a fight ensued. still no security. eventually after backing off the length of the bar we ended up on the deck and eventually the security arrived. This promoter who watched the whole thing is now claiming he never saw it as the Police are now involved. Today i get an email banning me for life using the venue management letter as a scapegoat. Again it appears this promoter has not attempted to inform the venue management of his involvement prior to the incident or lack of involvement during. In most venues the security would move in quick to stop a row before a fight breaks out. I also lost 2.5 weeks of not being able to carry out my normal day job due to injuries sustained. Also i guess this promoter has no public liability insurance. Some may say this is a private matter but i believe not so when you the punter are put at risk by this obvious disregard for public and personal safety by the event management. Also if anyone is or knows of a witness could you please send them my way. thankyou Any thoughts Peeps?

Guest Soultown andy Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 trust me its all in hand I,m sure it is pete, if the promoter deliberatley turned a blind eye and is now lying to cover his own tracks with the police involved it might end up quite messy.If he is on here he might respond to clear the air before it all goes tits up.
Cheltsoulnights Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 Thanks very much for the messages of support ive received. Just to clarify things. I won the fight but sustained injuries doing so which could easily have been reduced or avoided by prompt intervention by the promoter and his security staff Several other people got knocked over or roughed up as well
