07 Aug 04 - 03:11 PM (#1241943) Subject: Cancellation of Lincolnshire Concert From: Rasener Just received this e-mail from Liam Robinson. Thought it important to post on Mudcat, as I think a few might be intending to go. Unfortunately, the management at Greyfriars Gallery have postponed Wednesdays Lincolnshire Concert due to what they term poor advanced ticket sales. Many apologies to anyone planning to go. The event is now to be rescheduled for September. |

08 Aug 04 - 02:55 AM (#1242293) Subject: RE: Cancellation of Lincolnshire Concert From: Strollin' Johnny Mmmmmmm! What sell-out event are the Greyfriars putting on in its place that evening? I bet the answer is 'Nowt'. Isn't some income better than no income? I'd have been there, but I didn't feel the need to book in advance. Many of the Folk-Persuasion don't book in advance, they just turn up on the night. They must be Arch-Faint-Hearts at the Greyfriars Gallery! SJ :0) |

However, we've always had the faith and courage to go ahead. If we can take a header on a full weekend, why couldn't The Greyfriars Gallery have the balls to take a small risk on one evening? SJ :0) |

08 Aug 04 - 04:05 AM (#1242351) Subject: RE: Cancellation of Lincolnshire Concert From: Rasener Get it off yer chest M8. You could of course book advance tickets for Bob Fox at MRFC on Aug 27th, if not just take yer chance on the night. Might let you sing instead :-) |

08 Aug 04 - 04:12 AM (#1242356) Subject: RE: Cancellation of Lincolnshire Concert From: Strollin' Johnny Sounds a good deal to me Les. Bet you won't cancel if advance ticket sales are a bit on the low side? |
|
08 Aug 04 - 04:23 AM (#1242365) Subject: RE: Cancellation of Lincolnshire Concert From: Rasener Of course not. Committed to the end :-) I think that they run the risk of losing the confidence of the artists and general public by doing what they did. It will always be from now on - will it or won't it? |

08 Aug 04 - 04:37 AM (#1242378) Subject: RE: Cancellation of Lincolnshire Concert From: Strollin' Johnny Precisely. Local Authority mentality? |

08 Aug 04 - 04:39 AM (#1242379) Subject: RE: Cancellation of Lincolnshire Concert From: Strollin' Johnny And of course the crying shame is that they've cheated those of us who would have gone out of an opportunity to hear fine Lincolnshire artists like Brian Dawson and Liam Robinson. There should be a law against it (as me old, long-departed mum used to say) :0) SJ :0) |

08 Aug 04 - 05:29 AM (#1242405) Subject: RE: Cancellation of Lincolnshire Concert From: Sooz Nine weeks to go until GFF - my faith and courage need a bit of a boast! Would have been nice to relax and listen to Brian Dawson on Wednesday. |
