GIRLS Aloud, The levellers and UB40 will no longer perform at Bowood next month after a mass of cancellations were announced.

Three concerts, scheduled for the weekend of 12 to 14 of September at the house and gardens near Calne, have been cancelled by event organisers and promoters, Eastern Breeze.

The news follows the cancellation of Soul Sunday and the Proms last weekend, which left hundreds of fans feeling blue.

In total, six of the planned concerts that were set to turn Bowood into a top entertainment venue, have now been cancelled.

General Manager of Visitor Enterprises at Bowood James Stewart, said: "The decision to cancel the three concerts at which the Levellers, UB40 and Girls Aloud were to appear at Bowood is sadly due to circumstances beyond our control.

"We feel extremely sorry for concert goers who were planning to visit Bowood over this September weekend and share their disappointment."

Bowood advises that any enquiries and ticket refund requests should be directed directly to Eastern Breeze on 0870 842 2230.

Any tickets purchased from the House & Gardens Kiosk at Bowood should be returned to the kiosk for a refund.

Id of liked to of seen UB40 - but it was rather expensive.

Perhaps they shouldnt be so greedy and then we all might go.

Unbelievable!!!! I think Eastern Breeze have some explaining to do. We had tickets for Soul Sunday, that was cancelled and also had tickets for Girls Aloud for our daughters and now this is cancelled. Perhaps they should re-think what they do in future and maybe change to something else, they obvioulsy can't manage concerts!!!!!

You should have come to The Rose Tree Jam, I'd say we put on an exciting show!!

Promoting shows is very hard work, and the support from local people is very important, so hopefully with your support we can put on another great show in 2009...
