AN IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM MARK:
Many thanks for your wonderful support over many years, but I regret β SURPRISE SURPRISE - that it will not be possible to go ahead with our TOP SECRET Blues Festival 2021. There is no way we can go ahead, especially bearing in mind the current risks to life from COVID.
However, I had been hoping to bring you some more positive news about the future of the Festival, including the possibility of holding it in 2022 but, once again, I must be the bearer of bad news.
The Spa is not due to open until April 2021 at the earliest and there is no guarantee that it will be open or safe to run the Festival in 2022. I will also be 70 in 2022 and it just does not make sense for me to keep trying to keep the project afloat (or keep retaining your money).
With this in mind I have decided to close everything down and call it a day.
YOUR TICKET MONEY
I will, of course, be refunding all your ticket money in due course. I will also be returning any donations made in 2020.
A PERSONAL MESSAGE : THANK YOU
I have been promoting live music here in Scarborough, as a volunteer, for nearly 15 years and I know many of you have been with me all the way. I would just like to thank you for the kind words, sponsorship, donations and support you gave given me throughout. Itβs been a blast but . . . every good thing must come to an end.
Thanks again
Mark Horsley
Voluntary Promoter & Director
