David Randini’s popular seafront entertainment at East Cowes and Appley will not take place this summer, it has been announced.
After consultation with the Isle of Wight Council, it is felt that due to the popularity of the shows it is likely too many people would turn up to each event.
These shows have been a staple of Island life since the early 1990’s. In 2001 they were cut by the Council and then reinstated after public protests with support from the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.
David says:
“This has been a difficult decision for all involved. When the government announced that outside performances can go ahead our hearts were lifted, but it soon became clear that due to safety reasons they could not go ahead this year.
“My view is that like the road safety shows I perform if it saves one life it will be worth it. To have given so much pleasure to literally thousands of people of the years has been a great privilege and I look forward to doing it again in the future.
“I would especially like to thank Jane & Eric at the Shore Side Café in East Cowes and Ben & Lana at the Appley Café at Ryde, who host these events. Also to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway who have supported the shows since 2001 and, of course, all those who have watched these performances throughout the years.”
So your allowed to riot in the streets for some bull #hit cause .But not see a magic show .
Absolute nonsense.
