Fw: Hawkwind Manchester Gig - from Margaret Tait

[Colin Allen]

Yes, great idea; let's also screw all of the other bands that are scheduled to play there, and their fans!  Then they can all be as unhappy as the Hawkwind fans are!

about the pursuit of a prosecution against Manchester University and their
building managers. The Health & Safety Executive would be very interested in
what happened during the day, especially the fact that there were visitors
in the building but not anybody who could take charge of the fire alarm. The
Local Fire Service would also be very interested in events. They could
actually go as far as revoking the buildings safety certificate and closing
it down completely. It would then remain closed until the Fire Service had
completed a new safety inspection in a timescale defined by themselves. If
there were police officers in attendance at any stage they should have
brought a representative of the local fire service on to site.
Manchester University put lives at risk. Were the bands and their associates
made aware of the fire safety procedures? I say screw Manchester University
and screw them right down to the floor.

I prefer The Ritz in Manchester, but there are many other places HW could  
play that are better than the Academy.

After  it's been re-scheduled, I reckon HW should find
an alternative NW venue -  the Academy 2 is not a great
place to have a HW gig - too small and the  stage looks
cramped and, like FOFP said - its always bloody
freezing in  the bar!
