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:
Child benefit payments delayed due to technical issue
Manx Care says it is 'doing a lot of work' to tackle concerns raised by doctors
New elective surgical unit will be 'nice controlled environment'
Manx dancer, teacher and festival organiser 'in awe' at RBV win
MNFU calls for ability to trade with UK to be made a priority
