Musical Instruments and Technology Show cancelled

Ronnie Dungan • MMR Global • September 1, 2015

After a morning of rumours surrounding the future of the event, Hamerville has confirmed that it has cancelled the Musical Instruments and Technology Show, due to take place in Manchester in November.

The show was returning to Event City in Manchester (pictured) on 6th-8th November after a year away and a re-booting of the event to a more consumer-focused format. The 2013 show (called The Music Show) was more of an educational expo, with a consumer element. But it appears that, despite support from major brands such as Marshall, Yamaha, Blackstar, PMT, PRS and Barnes and Mullins, it has not been able to make the numbers works.

Event manager Chris Martin told MMR Global he was disappointed to have to pull out of the expo: “I’m gutted on a number of levels, particularly for the UK musical instrument industry. It was taking shape, we had some fantastic exhibitors on board and…it’s just a real shame. It was a combination of factors that made it just financially not viable.”

Martin assured the trade that exhibitors will get a full refund of any deposits or other payments already made.
