Optimistic Nut 189 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Just had a message from a mate at the Ian Brown gig that the stage collapsed halfway through it. Luckily, no-one was hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizza 105 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 (edited) Mental. Glad no-one was hurt. I was in there 4 days ago for the Alkaline Trio gig. Wonder if they fooked it... Either that or Ian Browns a fat bastid. Edited November 22, 2005 by Bizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizza 105 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 from NME.com: Ian Brown show evacuated in NewcastleShow stopped five songs in Ian Brown's show in Newcastle was pulled last night after reported problems with the floor in the venue. The singer was playing at the new Newcastle Carling Academy last night (November 21). Fans say that five songs into the set Brown was told by security guards that the show had to be halted. A statement from the venue, issued to NME.COM, reads: "Ian Brown's sell-out concert at Carling Academy Newcastle was halted at 9.45pm, five songs into his set, following alleged reports to venue management of a dip in the main auditorium's sprung dance-floor, some six feet away from the front of the stage. "The health and safety of customers, performers and crew is paramount, therefore the decision was agreed between Carling Academy Newcastle and Ian Brown's production crew that the building be evacuated for immediate assessment. "The show was stopped on the basis of safety and at no time was there any potential danger to the public. This procedure was carried out quickly and effectively under the guidance of the Academy's security personnel. No-one was injured during the process and passed without further incident. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and would like to thank all members of the audience for their full co-operation." It is currently unclear as to whether the show will be rescheduled. However, customers are advised to retain their tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizza 105 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Found this on an Ian Brown forum: Its not really a hole, more of a dip. They did the right thing by evacuating tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15718 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 "The show was stopped on the basis of safety and at no time was there any potential danger to the public." If they're claiming there wasn't even any potential danger, then why evacuate? Some people need to engage their brains... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
