This show has been cancelled and the organisers are making life difficult for cusotmers who have purchased tickets by not responding to refund requests. I and others have emailed every member of staff on the official website including the ticket information email and have got no response. IWe have even phoned the numberon their facebook page to no avail. Next step is to go to the consumer watchdog and report this organisation unless someone from the Voice newspaper can kindly put myself and other purchased ticket holders in touch with someone from AFWL 2020 UK organisers for the show that was scheduled for 8th Aug 2020 so we can get our money back. Under the consumer legislation we are entitled to a refund. Thank you
