LOLNo, unfortunately (well, I know Liam Lahart isn't but I don't know the Eddie guy - just read his email address on the 'contact' page.The Porterhouse own 4 pubs in Dublin and one in London, so that's how I got to know about them. I had a trip around their brewery once with the head brewer. That was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont shoot me...but I advised against!!TG asked me to put together a forecast for ticket sales, band costs, insurance etc... Basically I did some music industry sums for him..gave comparisons from previous concerts at Pride Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StockholmRam Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Well I assume the chilly peppers and Rodney Stewart didn't make it pay enough?In a nutshell yes... Mistake a lot of clubs or promoters make is taking on concerts later (agents looking for late sales..you missed the cut as a venue in 1st sell, but boy oh boy you grabbed it 2nd time around). Rod tickets had been on sale then sold out in close proximity Birmingham and Sheff months before so the Derby gig becomes like an overspill for those who didnt get tickets. Its difficult to sell out and sponsors are wanting 2nd hand deals too. This explanation is a bit black and white..there are many variable issues coming into play..
