Sheffield nightclubber's appeal over stage ‘Burn'

14 August 2008

A Nightclubber from Sheffield is appealing for witnesses following claims that she was burnt by a stage show.

 Cindy Robertson of High Green Sheffield has been left with a six inch scar which she claims were a result of sparks which flew from an angle grinder stage show and burnt her chest.

The incident took place on Saturday June 17^th 2007 at Embrace Nightclub on Burgess Street, Sheffield. Ms Robertson has now appealed for people to come forward as witness's, following claims that Embrace Night club have denied the event ever took place. This has led to Ms Robertson seeking legal advice from personal injury specialist Simon Marshall, of Ashton Morton Slack Solicitors.

Ms Robertson spoke out about the event and denials from the club "My Friends were at the bar when it happened and I was on the dance floor watching the stage show, the sparks began to fly of the stage and one hit me, burning my skin"

"I went to the doctors about the burn and I still have a scar 12 months on"

Ms Robertson added "I also phoned the nightclub and asked for CCTV footage and a copy of their booking diary but they said the CCTV was destroyed after 28 days and that they did not keep individual records of acts booked"

If anyone can remember attending the club and seeing the show on that date can contact Simon Marshall at Ashton Morton Slack on 0114 228 6117
