Bryan Ferry ‘A Life in Voice’ award presentations

ZELLER & SEYFERT represent the legal interests of our client, the music and event promoter Insidethelight. Our client had organised the Bryan Ferry ‘A Life in Voice’ award presentations, scheduled for the 8th and 9th of June, 2014. Today, our client issued the following press release which we want to republish on our website. The press release of our client reads the following:

“12:00 Tuesday 3rd June 2014.

It is with sincere regret Insidethelight must announce the cancellation of the 2014 Bryan Ferry ‘A Life in Voice’ award presentations of the 8th and 9th of June, 2014.

Despite many warnings from Insidethelight and continual assurance from Bryan Ferry’s management, the orchestral arrangements they were contractually obliged to supply have not arrived with Insidethelight or the Leipziger Symphony Orchestra.

On Tuesday the 27th of May regrettably but understandably the conductor Frank-Michael Erben officially withdrew from the performance because he considered there was then insufficient time left for the LSO to prepare for the shows.

Ticket holders, invited guests and all parties with interest should understand clearly Insidethelight, Frank-Michael Erben, The Leipziger Symphony Orchestra, The Gewandhaus zu Leipzig, and all sponsors and agencies bear no responsibility for this cancellation whatsoever, the circumstances of which were entirely under the control of Bryan Ferry’s management.

Ticket buyers should contact their ticket retailers directly for a full refund.

Insidethelight would like to thank all of the agencies and supporters of the ‘A Life in Voice’ presentation for their dedication, hard work and professionalism over the last twelve months, we can only offer our heart-felt apologies to you and all ticket holders and guests, that we were ultimately prevented from going forward with the shows.”
