Just heard that the Wet Robot Showcase scheduled for the Manor Gardens stage was a no show.
I tried to get the day off for this but glad I didn't. Two people I recommended it to went at different times, no puzzled teenagers, no cancellation signs and I can't find anything on line.
It's a shame because there are a few good young local bands who are worthy of a wider audience. The people who put these events on are an enthusiastic bunch headed by an Elvis Costello lookalike who is very well thought of, but they haven't yet got their heads around the need to communicate and provide information to the audience outside their own social group.
I'm sure it must have been cancelled or postponed for good reason and I guess there's a fair chance it will be rescheduled, but it will be an even bigger shame if this happens without good publicity.
