Organiser hits back at police remarks
The organisers of Castletown Festival say a row over drunken behaviour there won't stop it from taking place in future.
Police told bosses that this year's event would need a music licence after 6pm, as troublesome crowds were getting harder to deal with.
Festival committee secretary Colin Leather told Manx Radio that was a matter for officers to deal with, and there was 'nothing [organisers] can do' to stop people drinking in excess.
Evening entertainment on Saturday had to be rescheduled at the last minute, when police told them playing music without a licence would put them at risk of prosecution.
Mr Leather vowed to have the issues resolved in time for next year's festival:
Lack of opportunity to study science 'could be impacting future doctors'
Glen Maye patient airlifted to the UK
Trial for man who denies being controlling and coercive
Visitors asked to avoid main cemetery entrance on Sunday
Onchan man accused of committing act against public justice
Douglas Council using reserves to pay for 'decorative' promenade lighting
