The city has cancelled an open-air concert that was due to take place this afternoon.

I can hear the crunch of boots as the current crop of trainees practises marching on to the stage for an open-air concert this evening.

For an open-air concert venue, this seems to be a serious oversight.

When we do an open-air concert, of course we have microphones, but we can fill 3,000-seaters without them.

In the 2005 and 2007 presentations a daily open-air concert was added to the festival program.
