rob372 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) Now this is all a bit of a worry. I was already looking forward to a wonderful 10th year and receiving my Summer sundae ever present knighthood from Richard H, along with my 2 sidekicks (grown to 6 in the past two years because I've convinced them Summer sundae is great and now they're converted) and then I saw this thread. Summer sundae 2009 was bigger and overall better than ever before..... the show must go on. Blimey, I hope the facebook masses can have a positive affect on this kerfuffle ! Good luck to Richard H.

llcoolphil Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Id love to know who at the council has got what to hide or what hidden agenda they're playing to - this whole story has stitch up written all over it in huge great letters. I fear for both festivals next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I've been led to believe that it's likely both Summer Sundae and Big Session are likely to go ahead next year, and that an announcement (with dates & ticket on-sale details) might well be made in early December. Fingers crossed that turns out to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I've no idea how the details might pan out. All I know is that currently it's looking likely that the festivals are going to go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpop Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I have just received the booklet with upcoming events for demonfort hall and summer sundae is not listed inside it, like it normally has been in other years.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I have just received the booklet with upcoming events for demonfort hall and summer sundae is not listed inside it, like it normally has been in other years.... That's because, as yet, next year's festival has not been agreed to take place. They can't advertise something that they don't know to be happening. However, I've been led to understand that things are currently being discussed, and that it looks like things are going to come together. It's likely to be confirmed as happening within the next few weeks I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweepingTheNation Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 ""The whole staff team (at De Montfort Hall) should be congratulated on their professional and positive response in the face of the unwarranted and unjustified media attention." Yeah, well, why do you think that media attention was? Given you've decided to press on without the festival's key figure, and that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 An official statement has just been issued, which confirms that both SSW and Big Session will definitely be going ahead next year. eFestivals will have some news up shortly repeating this.

andyblack Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) im not sure what could be added to my previous statement (the council have discovered the efestivals thread). whilst im not a fan of recent activities and i've no direct links to leicester city council, theres also no point in making further potentially limitating waves just for the sake of it. im sure i cant get shot for saying the sense of humour applied to Leprekorn's post is very much the sentiment to uphold in all this frankly somewhat baffling, stupendous and ultimately very pointless madness.
