If you are in touch with Sean Flowerdew, would you mind giving him a nudge to fulfill orders for LISF merchandise - stuff I ordered and paid for in December is still not received.

Alternatively if you could ask him to respond to one of the many emails I have already sent him.

I am sure he is busy organising bands and tickets etc, but taking money without supplying the goods is theft. And that sort of reputation cannot be good for ticket sales.....

More than a week has passed since I sent Sean a couple of emails to the address he had suggested. I asked him to let me know that he had received the message and I asked him to confirm when he would fulfill the order. I have not had an email from him and I have not had my order.

Not sure what I am expected to think about all this.

Sean, if you are serious about sorting this out, you need to do it this week. Otherwise trading standards will be sorting it out.

We are delighted to announce The London Intl Ska Festival have teamed up with the Specialized charity project and will be donating £10 from every 4 day Ska festival ticket sold in March 2013.

Last year The Specials inspired charity project raised over £25,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

This year Specilized launch their second campaign ‘Beat Teenage Cancer’, which is based around the songs of UK’s fantastic ska/pop outfit The Beat. The project centers on a Beat tribute album featuring all the bands classics, a series of UK shows and closes with a 3 day extravaganza at Parkdean Sandford on November 8th-10th 2013. Artists already signed up include: Ed Rome, Bombskare, The Values ft. Neol Davies (The Selecter), The Talks, Dub Pistols, Dave Hillyard (The Slackers), Rob Johnson & The Irregulars, Rhoda Dakar & Phill Jupitus, Erin Bardwell Collective, Dubtonik ft. Charley Anderson (The Selecter), Buford O’Sulivan & many more.

All the money raised once again goes to Teenage Cancer Trust. For more information go to www.specializedproject.co.uk
