Re: Hyndburn Mela
Well the Telegraph have made a booboo today. They've put that I work for Mid Pennine Arts in the article - I haven't worked for them for 18 months. It doesn't half cause a lot of embarrassment all round when the Telegraph do this - I don't know why they do it, when they get press releases they should just stick to what they know and not what they think they know!!!!!
Anyway, other than that - thanks for coming folks - katex, sorry I didn't see you or you know I'd have come and said hello. Emamum would have been nice to have met you.

Think its more a case of lazy journalism Gayle, they only read what they want to, serve them right if you didn't do a press release and made them work for the wages

Re: Hyndburn Mela
No, there are just two pics......one of a young asian girl with henna decorated hands....and another one of a singer....not one of a little boy playing drums......aah, I hope he won't be too disappointed.

Re: Hyndburn Mela
Waste of time the 'Telegraph'; they suggested the Mela was an Asian event. An excerpt from the article: "The popular Asian event, featuring bands, DJs and ethnic cuisine". Where do they get these ideas?

Well they said I work for Mid Pennine Arts so accuracy of reporting is not necessarily the main criteria for being a Telegraph reporter.

That and spellling.
You're lucky they didn't print your name as Gale Night with all the spelling errors we've seen in there recently.

Well with the rate of knot's Gayle's been going at over the last few weeks a slip like that Lilly may have been justified
