Fact #169174

When:

Short story:

The Specials play at the Locarno, Bristol, England, UK, Europe, supported by the Swinging Cats.

Full article:

Jerry Dammers (The Specials) : I get frightened at stage invasions from the safety point of view. At Bristol a whole stack of speakers fell off the stage about fifteen foot. Luckily there was nobody underneath it. Two girls fell on top of it but they weren’t too badly hurt.

We don’t want to employ bouncers to keep people off stage and we’re not trying to say that we’re privileged and others shouldn’t get on stage. We love it when people get on stage from the enjoyment point of view but if anybody did get hurt it would turn the whole thing sour.
