Scissor Sisters went ahead with Glasgow gig despite the snow
The gig which took place on Wednesday 8 December at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, went ahead despite the knowledge that many had to miss the gig.
One disappointed Scissor Sister fan told British Daily Record: “When folk are taking advice from the police and government saying not to risk lives then those people who can't make it should get a refund. The reaction from the promoters is nuts. They just don't want to compensate people. I've wanted to see the band for years and almost got in the car to try it but it is not worth the risk in these conditions.”
A spokesperson for the band’s promoters said: “Last night the Scissor Sisters played a fantastic show to thousands of Scots fans. We do appreciate that there were some people who would have loved to have been at the concert but were unable to get to the venue due to the weather conditions. Both the band and the promoters regret that this was the case, they do feel however the fact that so many people attended and enjoyed the gig more than justifies the fact that it went ahead.”
Scotland has been hit with the worst snowfall in 50 years, leaving people stranded in their homes.
Scissor Sister’s front man Jake Shears said on his Twitter Page: “As far as I know (the) show in Glasgow (is) going on as planned, but please don't come if it looks risky. Don't want anyone hurting themselves."
Police and the Government have issued warnings all over the country for people not to risk going outside unless it is necessary.
