Ok boys here's the score, the festival IS POSTPONED. And now for the reasons.... The venue has indeed changed hands, it's no longer run by metal folk but this leads me onto the next reason. When we played there with Rager etc the council had over a dozen complaints from local residents about what they deemed to be excessive volume and council officials arrived threatening to shut the gig down. Now, this was just one night so imagine the level of complaints we'd receive from an all day thrash festival with 10+ bands. It'd be ridiculous. Another reason is the in-house sound system is woefully inadequate despite re-assurances to me that it'd be upto scratch, this hasn't happened. The venue has also proven it's too small. This festival WILL happen but obviously i need to secure another more suitable venue, i'm looking into London and venues such as the Walthamstow Royal Standard, The Underworld, The Purple Turtle and a few others. There will be a gig on Sat 30th June at The Bar Monsta with Amok, Mutant, Let 'Em Burn and Hallowed Point all playing so please do come along to that as i believe Jamie is gonna co-promote it as one of his RAGE! nights, i'll also be in touch with the Turks to see if the Friday 29th gig with Let 'Em Burn, Rager and Hallowed Point is still taking place.
Again i'm really sorry about this postponement chaps and chapettes but it had to happen as it'd be a nightmare otherwise and would probably have been shut down within an hour. The cunts.
