Three injured at Derbyshire festival
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 18 May 2009
Three music fans were injured when a stage collapsed at the Bearded Theory bash in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, at the weekend.
The accident was apparently related to weather conditions, site manager Sally Booth telling BBC News: “It’s been raining and windy all day but this was a freak gust of wind that was capable of knocking people over”.
Festival organiser James Willis added: “True to the festival spirit the personnel and festival-goers pulled together to ensure the continued running of the festival”.
