Please read copy and share where you can. As I am sure you are well aware our beloved BoJo has once again screwed the northern soul scene in the rear. As the “FREE AT LAST end of lockdown celebration Nighter” was scheduled for 17th July it misses out by 2 days. So we have had to react quickly with an alternative date . THE EVENT WILL NOW TAKE PLACE 2 WEEKS LATER ON SATURDAY 7th AUGUST! We wish to stress that, as stated on the advance ticket that they will be valid for the new date. But we also appreciate that for some of you that have purchased Advance Tickets, you may not be able to attend on that date. For those people affected, tickets will also be valid and can be used at “FREE AT LAST 2” which takes place on Saturday 30th October 2021 . Or alternatively if you would like a refund you can return your ticket (by recorded delivery for security please) to “Free At Last” c/o 68 Jethro St Bolton BL2 2PL Please include the original paypal address used for purchase and refund. For the many who have indicated that they will be still attending can I remind you that if you have booked accomodation, to change your reservation date with them.
