eFestivals Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 It astounds me the fact of us being threatened with legal action for speaking out and letting people know the truth ! How is this morally right ?Without intending to stick up for James....Speaking out is fine.Speaking out with falsehoods is on the same wrong side of morally as anything James might have done.Keeping within the indisputable means he won't be able to have a successful legal action against anyone.

outtolunch Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 from the most recent post on facebook " We'd hoped to have been able to bring you more programme news this week, but there have been delays with contracts etc which are beyond our control " why am I not surprised, do you think there is a bookmaker anywhere that will take a bet that this festival will not go ahead this year?

valmorg Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I've been blocked from the face book page ( only for speaking the truth regarding the takings I'm owed ) why am I not surprised at latest developments !!! Paul Make sure they get paid up front ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popupgazebo Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 But this festival is illegal, set upon stolen money and it shouldn't go ahead under this circumstances. Everybody supporting those thieves (organisers) should be ashamed. It is a shame that is all down to business, as some companies will do anything for a £! Here we are strongly promoting the TRUTH cause organiser James Houston told us the best way to get money back is to keep our mouths shut! Promoting the TRUTH so other small businesses, performers, bands, comedians… don't get into the same situation! Solidarity to share informations! Because Ignorance is a Bliss!!!! There is so many cool festivals out there with real people, so puppets stay away from Galtres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valmorg Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Well said pop up Gazebo Best of it is we are threatened etc for speaking TRUTH ! The fact that trustees James Houstons own father etc got paid back their loans on 24th August stinks ! This was the last day of the festival so how does that look ? The festival wouldn't of gone ahead apparently without these loans and they were loaned out on promise of being paid back during festival !!! Would of been better all around imo if festival hadnt of gone ahead ! And also these people knew what they were doing borrowing money to JH didn't they ? What choice did we have in having our takings kept to pay bills and debts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valmorg Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 All gone quiet on website twitter and facebook This is something I believe we need to keep out there in public domain as it's worrying to think it's going ahead again this year !

JosefS Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 It's all kicking off in Private Eye, JH being put straight on the facts: http://imgur.com/iLyE1fP Apparently they've got Badly Yawn Boy and The Proclaimers headlining this year.... Booking Agents paid upfront of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valmorg Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Apparently James Houston has sent a reply into private eye magazine accusing us of lying and them of not having facts ! He's even threatened to sue them !!! Is he a fantasist or what ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomised Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Could be interesting to follow this. Private eye don't tend to worry too much about such threats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tillyandthewall Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 The reply in Arkell v. Pressdram (1971) should be used for his threats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Could be interesting to follow this. Private eye don't tend to worry too much about such threats That's not true at all. They're exceedingly careful to ensure that thy don't step into the libellous. Which of course means that everything they print is likely to be spot on. It's actually unusual for them to be successfully sued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valmorg Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Nothing they have printed on this is libellous in fact it's James Houston who's not being very truthful with his response and as usual put his spin on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And going ahead in 2015 as if nothing's happened ! Threatens everyone who speaks out with libel action ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valmorg Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Well I think James houston has surpassed himself now the latest announcement on the website is called setting the record straight ! And it's his version of what's happened ! Oh and I've been told my behaviour is appalling ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
