Pharrell's publicist says singer had 'no knowledge' of Newry gig
A CO DOWN nightclub is investigating after Pharrell Williams said he had “no knowledge” of a highly-publicised gig at the venue.
A spokesman for the Happy singer has said he was never booked to perform at BED Nightclub in Newry.
A poster for the event, due to take place on 5 July, began doing the rounds on social media earlier this week.
In a now-deleted Facebook post, the nightclub acknowledged that the event might be surprising to some:

However earlier today, the nightclub announced that the event would not be going ahead “due to external factors outside [their] control”.
Pharrell was booked for the venue through Cavan-based booking agency Ask 1, but the club said the booking could not be “fulfilled”.
In a post on BED Newry’s Facebook page Ask 1 said that though they acted in “good faith”, due to circumstances beyond their control Pharrell would not be performing at the club on 5 July.

In a statement given to DailyEdge.ie, a spokesman for Pharrell said:
The nightclub has said that all customers who purchased tickets to the event will be refunded in full.
DailyEdge.ie attempted to contact Ask 1 for comment, but were referred to their solicitors.
