It is with deep regret and a heavy heart that I have to announce the
cancellation of the Brit Salsa Fest at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool
1 – 3 February 2008. This agonising decision has been arrived at after
weeks of the Salsa UK team struggling to keep the event alive, but on
balance I believe it is in the best interests of everyone to take this
course of action.
Naturally many dancers, artists, customers, vendors etc will be very
disappointed by the cancellation of the BritFEST, I know how much you
were looking forward to this event and I can only offer my sincere
apologies for any inconvenience caused. In my many years of promoting
Salsa Congresses this is the first time I have had to cancel such a
big event and it was not an easy decision to make.
I do not wish to dwell here on the details of the ongoing legal
dispute with Kate & Emma Moore here but suffice it to say that over
the last two months misleading statements and partial stories have
been leaked into the public domain causing enormous confusion about
whether the event had been prevented by the courts from going ahead.
It was never the case that any injunction was ever granted but this
mistaken belief has dissuaded enough people from buying passes which
has negatively impacted the volume of sales so greatly as to make the
event commercially unviable.
Of course all advance payments to the BritFEST will be refunded ASAP
and we will also offer those who prefer to carry their deposits
forward for the UK Congress or any other Salsa UK event a generous
discount for your loyal custom.
On a more positive note I would like to thank all those people who
have supported us both in the UK and overseas and appreciate your
understanding in this unfortunate matter. Moving forward we will
continue to strive to build on our many past successes and hope to
bring you many more great events in the future.
Wishing you a fruitful festive season
