Hiya Rob and Karen. agree with everything you say, the thing is the venue has been booked, it's been advertised for at least the last 6 months, the tickets are sitting there albeit with the artists name on them so whats stopping someone with the balls, stepping in and running it. I feel the main problem was the possible lack of the full deposit for the venue. Not really the organisers fault, just that the timing was'nt quite right. Don't you think there has been enough interest in the dayer, inspite of who was organising it ?? I reckon there are at least 800 true soulies out there that would attend it. Just over 3 weeks to go yes, so lets see how many positive replies we get to this thread. I don't know what the cost is to hire the Oceana but surely 800 at 10 pounds each would cover it, plus they get the bar takings as well. Common sense ???????????
Be interested in your further thoughts, i for one was really looking forward to it even before i knew they were planning to get live acts. Stay soulful, Tony T BONE. OZ.
