CANCELLED: Mathew Street Festival
« on: August 03, 2007, 12:45:38 PM »
Liverpool Council have decided to cancel the world renowned Mathew Street festival due on the August Bank Hol weekend!!

This because the Health and Safety of attendees is under threat due to the extensive city rebuild that's going on due to Liverpool being the European Capital of Culture next year.

However with less than 3 weeks to go, organisers and attendees are up in arms.

Furthermore, the big local paper The Liverpool Echo, had said this afternoon, that there is no guarantee it will be on in 2008 either!

According to local news and TV, the Council is a laughing stock!

PLEASE NOTE -

This cancellation ONLY affects the open air gigs that usually take place on the bank holiday Monday - the rest of Beatle Week is unaffected.

I will keep you posted with further news as I get it.

Everyone who works for any council is a laughing stock.

GOOD NEWS!

The only thing that has been cancelled are the open-air gigs arranged for the Monday - everything else is unaffected. Of course it's disappointing that the gigs are no longer out-doors, but they are being re-arranged at various venues in and around Liverpool town-centre.

So everything is going ahead - just not quite as planned!

No need to panic then! ;D
