So here we go again, the rumour mills has started once again,without the perpetrators having a clue what the truth is. So if you don't know the truth,why not just make it up, that seems to be the level of some people.
Point 1. The power cuts on Saturday night. This urb. Is served by 4 main power lines, coming off the national grid. Apparently,due to the heat, one of these lines snapped. This put undue extra pressure on the remaining three. This resulted in the power going on and off as the system struggled to cope. This did not affect the fiesta performances as the stage, lighting and sound were working from two large generators. I managed to get a message through to Iberdrola and they sent out 4 engineers to rectify the problem.
Point 2. The story about me forcing the bar owners to up their prices or I would cancel the Fiesta is absolute Rot.
Suffice to say, the company that ran the bars at the side of the stage was the same company that were contracted to book the acts for Friday and Saturday . They also were responsible for the stage,sound and lighting. If you really want to know who was being held over a barrel, go ask Chris or Allan at J,s and Temptations.
Or, here is a quirky suggestion, why not come and see me instead of posting rumours
or lies.
Point 3. Overall, I thought that the acts were fantastic, the sound and stage and lighting were superb and for me Sunday was the best day of all. So I would like to say a big thanks to all the back room boys and girls who helped put this together. I would also like to thank all those who came along and went away with positive thoughts about the Fiesta.
On behalf of the Town Hall, I would like to apologise for the failure of the second half of the firework display. This was totally out with our control. But it did not dampen the spirit of the majority of the Fiesta goers . Even with the few hiccups, many thought it was better than last years and last year's was great.
