Minister pledges to help Elton concert

Thu, 19 May 2011

The Community, Culture and Leisure Minister says he'll do all he can to help the promoters of the Elton John Concert to find a new venue.

 

Following the cancellation of the Isle of Man Bay Festival, the promoters have been left with some logistical problems, as they had planned to share a tent and infrastructure with the festival.

 

David Cretney says his Department is looking to accomodate the show in the Villa Marina Gardens or in the recreational grounds at Noble's Park.
