Eastern European rock band told that they are not allowed to
perform in Brighton after they refused to pay a parking fine last time they
were here.
Rock band, ‘Enflamed and Contagious’ from Belarus, have been
told by The Parking Enforcement Commission for Brighton and Hove that they are
not allowed back to perform in Brighton or surrounding areas.
The Brighton leg of their ‘Brighton and Belarus’ tour has
now been cancelled by the band for refusing to pay fines dating back to June of
2011, when they trio were last here. The parking Enforcement Commission for
Brighton and Hove have told the three piece group that their tour bus was
parked on Madeira Drive for five days with no evidence of having paid and displayed.
The band, who have hits like, “Sins are only bad because the
Lord gets Jealous” and “You might be able to out run a milk float but we’re
driving a sledge pulled by your mother and her friends,” were due to perform at
the Concorde 2 on the 27th February. This date has now been cancelled
indefinitely.
Brian Fodicate, from the Parking Enforcement Commission, has
said that although they cannot legally ban the group from coming to Brighton,
they have imposed a law which states that their
vehicle cannot be stationary for more than 30 minutes at a time. He said:
“They can either pay the fine or come to Brighton, perform
the gig and have one of band move the vehicle every half hour to ensure they
are not in violation of the law. It’s their choice.”
The band have made no comment but have said they will offer
a full refund if any tickets are bought to their gig.
