Philip Pickett’s trial is postponed so he can finish tours
mainThe early music pioneer is facing trial at the Old Bailey on charges of three rapes and eight indecent assaults, dating more than 20 years back.
A judge has agreed to defer the trial date to early 2015, when the diary is less busy.
His counsel said: ‘My client is a world famous musician and therefore earns his living on a job to job basis and has tours across the globe throughout the autumn – but the season slows down in the new year.’
