Court Rules Against Bowie Fan

Please trip them gently, They don’t like to fall… A friendly word of advice to the likes of Rednik who is currently considering legal action against the organisers of two David Bowie events from last year. In an alleged incident at last years’ Glastonbury Festival he claims that Mike Garson “trod on my little toe” while later that same month Holly Palmer “looked at me funny” while leaving the stage of the BBC show in London. After reports in this morning’s UK press, perhaps he would be sensible to take his claim no further. A David Bowie fan from Dublin, who injured herself in a fall leaving a Bowie concert, has lost her claim for up to £30,000 damages. A judge awarded costs against the woman after her unsuccessful attempt to sue the Point Exhibition Company of Dublin, after a concert in the city five years ago. The judge said the courts were experiencing a glut of cases which had a “very thin basis for litigation”. There were 7,000 fans at the Bowie concert (it says here) in November 1995, and a certain amount of “turbulence” among fans was to be expected, the judge said.
