Council sued over axed Bob Marley Concert
My name is Mike Forrester and I am a concert promoter. Last year I was due to stage the Bob Marley Festival featuring many artists that included Sean Paul and Ky-Mani Marley as a tribute on the 25th Anniversary of his death. A contract was signed with Manchester City Council for the rental of Platts Field Park, 6 days later they cancelled the contract saying they had been advised by the Police that the concert should be cancelled, due to concerns of public disorder, the Police have denied this in court. I am at present awaiting the Judge to make his decision, as the case is in reserve I will not hear the verdict till next month. You would have thought it was a clear cut case, Bob Marley promoted peace. I thought this was a free country......
