Jackmaster, the Scottish DJ, has issued an apology after exhibiting what he describes as “inappropriate and offensive behaviour” towards staff at Bristol’s Love Saves The Day festival.
The DJ, real name Jack Revill, stated that he acted “inappropriately and offensively” to staff at the May event, also damaging equipment, while “heavily intoxicated”. He did not specify what those actions were.
“I take full responsibility for my actions and the effect on those involved – I am sorry,” he wrote in a Facebook post. “As much as this was out of characters: substances are an individual’s choice, not an excuse. I have already made major changes to my lifestyle, and will continue these ongoing.”
“Over the last few weeks I have done everything in my ability to confront and address the repercussions of my actions head-on, and apologise personally to those that I affected. This post will serve to remind me that my behaviour was unacceptable, and it is a bid to address issues in the wider events and music industries.”
The festival issued its own response, in a statement which detailed: “We received complaints from our staff as to the behaviour of Jack at our Love Saves The Day Festival this summer. We took the complaints extremely seriously and fully investigated the incidents.”
“Jack met with us and representatives of the staff involved and showed genuine remorse, full responsibility for his actions plus an undertaking to ensure that his behaviour would never be repeated at any event in the future.”
They continued: “Our staff and family have accepted his apology and consider this matter closed, whilst reserving the right to further pursue complaints at such point in the future that we are ever aware of this behaviour being repeated.”
“Love Saves the Day takes the welfare of its staff and family extremely seriously and will never tolerate any unacceptable behaviour towards them, from any member the public, contractors, or artists."
