PLANS to reschedule Darwen Live for the first weekend in September have hit a snag - the market square was already booked for the Saturday. Now organisers are looking at a later date instead to accommodate the annual community day organised by the town s Rotary Club. Brian Taylor, the sitting Darwen West Labour councillor standing for re-election on May 6, who suggested the revised date has apologised for causing any confusion. The normal May Bank Holiday Darwen Live event has already been cancelled for the second year running because of coronavirus restrictions. Mr Taylor won the backing of Darwen Town Council for rearranging the free music festival on September 4 and 5 but Tony O Hara, community services officer for the town s Rotary Club, pointed out it had already booked the town square for its event.
Darwen Live 2019 A SLIMMED-down Darwen Live weekend could take place in September if a councillor has his way. Brian Taylor, up for re-election on May 6, believes it could be a major boost to the town and local groups. The Labour candidate for Darwen West in next month’s borough and town council polls said the free music festival could go ahead in a Covid-secure manner on the weekend of September 4 and 5. The normal May Bank Holiday Darwen Live event has already been cancelled for the second year running because of coronavirus restrictions. Mr Taylor made the suggestion at the last meeting of the current Darwen Town Council earlier this month.
