County Press are reporting that this year’s Isle of Wight Jazz Festival, clouded with the controversy of non payment to artistes and suppliers in previous years, has been cancelled.
The event was due to take place at East Dene in Bonchurch in April, but the economic downturn and lack of sponsors is being blamed for the cancellation.
The organisers have vowed to pay all refunds, cancellation fees and outstanding bills for ‘this’ event within a month.
Let’s hope that before they start organising next year’s festival that the organisers pay those they still owe money to.
Just last week, we had a phone call from a marquee company who are still owed money from the Folk and Blues Festival.
