The Supernaturals
Stonehaven s Hogmanay festival is facing legal action after music acts and companies were left out of pocket. The Supernaturals who had hits in the 1990s with songs including Smile and The Day Before Yesterday s Man are among those owed thousands of pounds. Open Air in the Square, which is run as a charity, has not paid some musical acts, two production companies and a security firm over a three-year period.
Organisers have apologised to those who have not been paid, blaming cashflow problems, and pledged all debts would soon be settled.
Since 2013 thousands of revellers have flocked to the coastal town to see big-name bands such as Deacon Blue, The Human League and Simple Minds.
