Come Here To Me!

This, my friends, is a huge pity. That’s my plans for later today out the window anyway. The 11th hour indeed!

CANCELLATION NOTICE.

It is with the deepest regret that we The People’s Festival – Committee, Team & Crew must now inform the general public of the complete cancellation of our scheduled event in Dun Laoghaire (20th & 21st August 2011) in this the 11th Hour.

…We would like to state at this point that we ourselves take full responsibility for the oversights involved in the festivals planning which have led us to withdraw from the implementation of this festival.

There has been up until this point a phenomenal amount of support for this idea. Support of the kind which none here could possibly express our depth of gratitude. It is in the spirit of that support which we would humbly ask you, the people, to remain behind us, and with us, for a future event.

As we speak arrangements are being made for what can only be billed as an alternative and consolatory event in Dublin City instead, which it must be stated will not serve as a festival but rather a gathering of those involved up to this point and those who support and understand the spirit intended by the original concept. (**details of which will be issued separately)

It must be stated clearly and decidedly that there will be NO events relating to The People’s Festival happening in Dun Laoghaire over the course of either the 20th or 21st August 2011, in any of the venues previously posted including; The 40 Foot Bar & Grill, The Harbor Bar, Scotts Cafe Bar or any other.

Further explanation will be forthcoming, and notification will be made directly by our committee to all artists involved, volunteers and everyone else involved in any with this project.

Words cannot express the disappointment felt across the board of organisers and we can only hope that this development is received with sympathy and understanding.

We will endeavour to develop an adequate People’s Festival for introduction at a future time.

Wishing you all well, and many thanks.

The People’s Festival Team
