Covid-19: More 'big acts could pull out of NI gigs'

 

 

Restrictions at indoor concerts could lead to more big acts pulling out of Northern Ireland, event organisers have warned.

You can choose to play เกมสล็อต as you like. And the downside is, how do friends know which games are right for them and can make money for them, right?

Over the summer, acts such as Genesis, Van Morrison and JC Stewart cancelled or rescheduled gigs in Belfast because of social distancing rules.

The current rules mean one metre social distancing at indoor events, seated guests only and no dancing.

But concert promoters have called for the distancing rule to be re-examined.

The director of events at the Waterfront Hall and Ulster Hall said the issue should be addressed sooner rather than later.

Charlie McCloskey said most of September's bookings have now been postponed or rescheduled.

"We have 16 events booked but 15 of those have had to reschedule because they were sold at full capacity without social distancing.

"The current one metre social distancing still leaves live events unfeasible.

"We understand that the virus is still out there. We're going to have to live with it."

Promoter and venue owner Joe Dougan told BBC News NI more events were "in jeopardy" in the coming months unless rules are changed or indicative dates are set.
