Beachdown Investor?! Really?!

Beachdown

Beachdown claim to have found a new investor, according to a report in today’s Argus. Despite not naming the person Future Festivals Ltd, the company still owing hundreds of ticket holders and businesses money, has been granted a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) meaning that their debt has been frozen. So they can start putting together another Beachdown without paying anyone back first. Debts will be paid from any future profits. So, will you get your ticket money back? Will there be another Beachdown this year? Does the mystery person even exist? We’d guess ‘probably not’, ‘probably not’ and, erm, we’d rather not say.

Gloria Cycles' Film Theme

Gloria Cycles

Bloody hell, this one came out of leftfield: Gloria Cycles have supplied the theme song what looks like being a massive hit movie. My Last Five Girlfriends is a Brit rom-com that seems to be a cross between Nick Hornby and Richard Curtis – you can see the trailer here. IMDb rates it as a very respectable 8.4 with ‘witty and ingenious ideas’, which bodes well. It follows a good few months for the Cycles, touring Europe and having ‘Wonderbus’ in a Samsung camera advert. Their LP – which has been delayed for the film – is out now on iTunes with a CD following in April. Look out for the review in our next issue.
