A MUSICAL charity evening has been cancelled because organisers believe recent bad weather put a dampener on ticket sales.
The event was to be held at Cleveland Police headquarters at Ladgate Lane, Middlesbrough, on August 10, in partnership with Teesside Hospice to raise money for the charity.
Sergeant Andy Fox, one of the organisers, said: "It is a real pity that we have had to cancel the concert but with ticket sales being so poor we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel now before any money is lost staging the show."
Among those on the bill were the Wildcats of Kilkenny, and tribute bands Beatlemania and Abbakadabbara.
Jane Webb, trading company manager for the hospice, said: "Although a lot of people have said they intended to buy tickets, unfortunately this has not materialised into firm ticket sales."
