DED still in dispute with Tom Jones concert promoter

Thu, 12 Oct 2017

The Manx Government says it's still in dispute with the promoter of a Tom Jones concert.

The Department of Economic Development and TinyCow have been disputing the finances of the show, which took place at Noble's Park in July last year.

In response to a Freedom of Information request, the DED refused to say how much money the event had cost the taxpayer, stating it would breach the contract with the artist and prejudice the commercial interests of the Department.

TinyCow has since gone into liquidation after cancelling the Hope and Glory Festival in Liverpool earlier this year.
