Reading, Leeds, Kells?

Arthur Peanut

Mean Fiddler and MCD are having a bidding war with Kells Town Council for the use of an area just outside of kells called loyd. If MCD win they want to put on three slane type concerts a year, however if Mean Fiddler win they want to put on a Reading type concert using the Saturday line up at reading on Sunday in Kells, and vice versa. So if your in kells for it and dying for a piss i'll be charging $2 for a slash and $4 for lump outside my house, har har

Concert Heavyweights Shape Up To Promote Kells Musicfest



TWO major rock concert promoters are set to take each other on to stage a planned major music event in Kells next summer.

Kells Town Council is shortly to hear submissions from the two competing concert promoters next Tuesday night, after MCD followed lead of London-based Mean Fiddler Group in seeking the use of the council’s Loyd farm just outside the town for a music extravaganza.

Town Clerk, Mr. Bill Sweeney, told local councillors at Monday night’s meeting of the Town Council that MCD already runs the Slane and Witnness events. It had asked to make a presentation while the Mean Fiddler Group had indicated it would be in Kells to do the same. Members agreed to hear from both concert promoters.

The entire Loyd farm area would be required, with space for overnight camping, and security for the entire site being the responsibility of the event organisor, added Mr. Sweeney.

Kells Area Manager, Mr. Malachi Jenkins, said that while the Town Council was the landowner, the Co. Council would be the licensee. The input of the Gardai, North-Eastern Health Board and other authorities would also be required in determining whether or which project got the go-ahead. Promoters should not think that they had some advantage through getting the Town Council’s agreement, he commented.

Colr. Ollie Sweeney asked whether “the town will make big bucks” while Colr. Brian Curran queried whether one meeting would be enough for the two firms to make their presentations. Acting cathaoirleach, Colr. Peter Caffrey, said that members would simply hear from them on the night and subsequently meet and decide their course of action.



The town will make big bucks, especially if you want a slash har, har
