Regarding Marsha Ambrosius’s cancellation of Dec 19th & 20th 2012 due to ill health here’s a copy of Marsha’s Doctors note that she posted publicly on twitter: http://instagram.com/p/TdsSuZN6LD/

We put life and health before gigs and events at KTF – we wish Marsha a full recovery ASAP. 

Our twitter feed at http://twitter.com/keepthefaithful can be viewed by all easily on a PC or phone regardless of whether you’re a twitter member & will reach quicker than a mass email-out.

Everyone who purchased a ticket who left an email should now have been emailed.
Your email may have arrived after our twitter feed update..

Regardless of which artist, event or promoter – in this net age we always recommend checking the net and your emails before leaving for gigs and events regarding situations like this. Thanks for your continued patience, understanding, attendance and loyal support.

approx 20,000 people each year.  The Mela celebrates the
multi-cultural diversity of Maidstone & Kent through music, food and
dance & was the first multi-cultural Mela in the UK. Maidstone Mela
was the brainchild of former Maidstone Mayor Morelle De’Souza who
wanted a festival to bring all local communities together and
highlight their best talents in light of the global impact of the 9/11
attacks.
The Mela is organised in partnership by Maidstone Borough Council,
Cohesion Plus Kent and the Kent Equality Cohesion Council & The Mela
Advisory Committee inc. local community organisations and partners
including local schools and Kent Police which meets regularly in the
