PORT GEARS UP TO WELCOME SUPERSTARS OF POP TO THE POINT 09:00 - 24 August 2006 Falmouth is gearing itself for the two biggest concerts in its history, with thousands of people due to descend on Pendennis Castle. Rockers Status Quo will perform at the English Heritage property on Saturday evening and will be followed the next night by Irish superstars, Westlife. Six thousands tickets have been made available for both shows. In a bid to avoid traffic chaos in the area, police have imposed a parking ban around Pendennis Point and the north part of Castle Drive for the two days. Sgt Emma Fox said: "Having an extra 6,000 people on a bank holiday in Falmouth has the potential to cause major disruption. It can be very congested on the best of days at the Point and extra cars trying to park in the vicinity is just unworkable. "The restrictions are necessary for health and safety and for a park and ride scheme set up by the concert organisers to function effectively." The two concerts are a joint production between TLRC Concerts and English Heritage and follow similar events held at other historic properties. Concert promoters, TLRC, have arranged for park and ride schemes to run for both nights. These will operate from Penryn Rugby Club in Kernick Road, Falmouth School in Trescobeas Road and the park and ride/float site at Ponsharden. Disabled parking will be available adjacent to the castle and a disabled viewing platform has been built, with disabled toilets nearby. Gates open on both nights at 5.30pm and support bands are due to take to the stage at 8pm, with the headliners following at about 9pm. A special orbital stage has been set up in front of the Royal Artillery Barrack for maximum visibility for those inside. Many of those unable to get tickets are also expected to flock to the Castle Drive area with the hope of at least hearing the concerts. One person who will have no such problem, however, is West Briton competition winner, Mandy Dennison-Reed, of Blights Row, Redruth. Mandy won a pair of tickets for the Westlife concert and more importantly, will have a chance to meet the boys after the concert. source: thisiscornwall |
