*********************

A Message from Roy’s Team

Hi everyone firstly and most importantly, I’m delighted and very relieved to say Phil our sound engineer is recovering well, to say he doesn’t remember a lot about Saturday night is an understatement !!!!!

Thank you so much for all the get well wishes generally, Phil really appreciates them and has asked me to let you know on his behalf.

Roy, my crew and I would also like to thank everyone personally who attended the show Saturday night at the West Cliff Clacton for their understanding on the night when I had to make the announcement to stop the show and also the theatre manager Rob, Duty Manager Ralph, all the FOH staff and stage/tech management Keith & Dee and all the backstage staff for the sympathetic and professional way they dealt with the ….I’m sure for all of us ….. unprecedented situation mid show, hopefully one we won’t ever encounter again!

Tickets from last Saturdays mid show cancellation will be valid for the rescheduled show on Thursday 17th October, for those who were there Saturday night Roy will change his material round as much as possible in the next 3 months for the rescheduled show, sure there will be some new stuff in the first 40 minutes for you !!! and of course there’s still 40 mins of the show you haven’t seen yet and an ending (trust me) not to be missed, so hopefully you all come back and also hope to see some of you Clacton fans may who not have been able to make last Saturdays show, so hopefully the new date works for you.

Obviously we understand this date may not work for everyone so as promised for those who can’t make the rescheduled date you can obviously obtain a refund from the theatre.

Please email the theatre at [email protected] if you require a refund. West Cliff staff will be contacting all ticket holders by email or phone over the coming days.

Many thanks for your support

Ritch (Tour Manager)

If you wish to contact Ritch directly for any questions or issues (The West Cliff did not sell any Meet & Greet Tickets) he can be reached at the following email: [email protected]
Please Note: No alcohol is permitted inside the auditorium. Only soft drinks and water in plastic bottles will be allowed.
