Too good to be true: Newry nightclub 'scammed' into thinking they'd booked Pharrell

An Irish nightclub looks to have been scammed into believing they would stage a Pharrell Williams gig.

Newry’s B.E.D nightclub promoted the US singer as taking place on July 5 – with a number of tickets already sold.

They told Goss.ie: “Pharrell is not affiliated with this event and he and his team have no knowledge of it; unfortunately it appears to be a fraud.”

Now the nightclub said they acted in “good faith” and truly thought they had got a performance from Pharrell.

In a statement, the Newry nightclub said: “It is with deepest regret that we make this statement to inform all BED customers that due to events outside the control of Ask1 agency and our principal b.e.d nightclub the Pharrell Williams event, advertised to take place on 5 July 2014, will no longer be taking place.

“Due to external factors outside of our control we have become aware that the event will not be taking place and we can categorically confirm that Pharrell Williams will not be attending the premier venue b.e.d nightclub.

“All promotions and advertising had been undertaken in good faith and on the basis of negotiations that had taken place up to 25 June 2014.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused and we are equally disappointed that the show did not go ahead.

“For legal reasons no further comment will be issued in respect of the matter.”
