Mystery Over Oasis Refund




















Concert organisers were today remaining tight-lipped over whether they would honour Oasis star Noel Gallagher's pledge to give fans a refund after a power failure disrupted their first of three Heaton Park gigs last night.

Despite numerous calls to spokespeople for the band and concert promoters SJM no-one was available to explain what had happened or confirm whether fans would be able to claim their ticket fee back as promised.

All they would say today was that a statement would be released at 6pm on Oasisnet.com.

Earlier all inquires were being redirected to a myspace site.

Meanwhile, local residents said an increased police presence promised by the organisers had not materialised and complained of fights breaking out, people dropping litter and urinating in the street.

There were 15 arrests for public order and drugs offences. Resident Allan Shalks said: " There were no police here and a hotline to report anti-social behaviour was just on answerphone. We had to lock the doors and stay inside."

A spokesman for the council said the technical failure, which saw the band leave the stage twice and resulted in a dramatic 45-minute halt, was an issue for the concert organisers and that it would not impact on the future use of the park as a music and event venue.
