A Norfolk town’s music festival has been cancelled for the second year in a row due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Dereham Blues Festival’s organising committee said in a statement: “The uncertainty last year was recognised but it was hoped the situation would be clearer as the year progressed. We now know this is not the case. Indeed, if anything, the position at the beginning of 2021 is less clear.
“To put the festival on, many of the arrangements and decisions must be made early in the year - for example to sign up the venues, agree arrangements with sponsors, arrange the line-up of the bands, work with the Friends of The Dereham Memorial Hall to set-up the opening headline concert and organise the publicity.”
