Looe Music Festival, which could be reborn as Looe Saves The Day
AN ELEVENTH hour emergency meeting last night might just have saved one of Cornwall's biggest music festivals.
Earlier this week news that the charity running Looe Music Festival had folded, left its future up in the air.
But last night residents, bed and breakfast owners, publicans and music fans gathered at Millpool to launch Looe Saves The Day.
They are aiming to raise £30,000 by Saturday to enable the festival to go ahead in a revised format.
Headliners The Stranglers and The Waterboys will no longer be playing at the event, but if the group can raise the five-figure sum, a replacement festival will go ahead.
At this stage, anyone who bought a ticket for the cancelled event will not be refunded.
