Band withdraws from Staffordshire concert after 'accepting another performance commitment'

A UK band have withdrawn from a Staffordshire concert.

Tamworth Castle Concerts, taking place in the grounds of Tamworth Castle, is scheduled to go ahead this evening (July 17) and tomorrow night (July 18).

However, one band that were due to play on Saturday have pulled out.

The indie rock band The Ordinary Boys have “withdrawn from their appearance” after “accepting another performance commitment”, the organisers of Castle Concerts said on Facebook.

The organisers posted the update on the event’s Facebook page on Thursday (July 16).

A statement said: “Unfortunately, The Ordinary Boys have withdrawn from their appearance at Castle Concerts after accepting another performance commitment. We worked closely with the band's team to explore every possible option that would allow both commitments to go ahead.

“Whilst we're disappointed they will no longer be joining us, we're looking forward to welcoming everyone for what promises to be a fantastic day of live music with The Feeling, The Twang, Charm and The Assist. We apologise for any disappointment this may cause and thank you for your understanding.”
