Hi All,
I don't know whether this is the reason for the changes regarding bands in
the London parks, but a public company called Cardington has secured the
rights to develop the commercial potential of Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens,
Regent's Park, Greenwich Park, Richmond Park, St James's Park, Green Park
and Bushey Park.

The Government's Royal Parks Agency exists to achieve a balance between the
preservation of the open space and the capitalisation of the commercial
potential and the Agency has appointed Royal Parks Enterprises Ltd (RPEL) as
its marketing and commercial partner. RPEL is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Cardington plc.

Cardington's chairman is Simon Petherick and the Managing Director is Ian
Shirley and they have considerable marketing management experience between
them. The company operates from Leicester Square, but I don't know the full
address.

This may or may not be a significant change for some of the big name
commercially aware bands, it could also provide more opportunities for
fringe concerts or appearances for lesser known bands. It does seem to mean
that bands will need to adopt a much more professional and commercial
approach in future even for activities as simple as playing in the park!

Cheers

Rod G
