police squad Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 We were going to Minehead to watch this weekend. Lake side apartment on the bill Procol Harum and GUN. 2 bands I've always wanted to see. Others playing, Stray, Pat Mcmanus, Bernie Marsden, Dave Bickler (survivor singer) Yesterday both Procol and GUN cancelled😪. I know Gary Brooker has had a car accident and broken ribs. Gun haven't said why they're not playing. We're not going now, it's ruined my day but I'll get over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykesbass Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Yes, T&Cs always have line up subject to change. Bit harsh for you @police squad but I'd imagine it would be impossible to put these events on without this caveat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean, especially as the headline acts are so f*cking ancient that they're likely to buy the farm any minute? You'd think the organisers would know that and have a plan B. Shame! That's a bummer, police squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steantval Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 One of the chaps on here plays with Stray, maybe he has some inside info on the cancellations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also know the Procol guitar player quite well, it was him that told me about procol cancelling. They haven't really replaced the cancelled acts with anything nearly as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 That's sad news. Still some great acts there though.... Dave Bickler is fantastic... my guitarist Glenn is playing with him and Dave will put on a great performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Sad about the band's cancelling. But it could have been worse. You could have actually gone to Butlins. Don't know about the Minehead one. But the Skegness one is like a holding pen for the Jeremy Kyle show. 1 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite looking forward to Dave Bickler as I have been doing 'Eye of the Tiger' for a good few years now. There are some good acts, which would have been great, to accompany the 2 that cancelled.

ambient Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) I’d still go. I don’t know who any of the bands are, still might be a good weekend though, and the scenery around there is spectacular, it’s worth going just for that.

You might have a great time 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeyboro Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Saw Gun a couple of years ago, not hugely impressed. They don’t have the original frontman any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns-bass Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I went there for the Shiine on Weekender. Not my music if I’m honest, but we had a brilliant weekend there what about 8 others. The event was well organised and managed and I have to say Butlins was OK. I’d say do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no info other than what's been touted on the Facebook page. Looking forward to opening on Saturday on Reds. We were actually offered the closing slot on Sunday when Gun pulled out but that made it awkward for a couple of our members. Really looking forward to watching Hawkwind, just a shame they're a direct clash with Diamond Head who I used to quite like back in the day.
