Washed-out music festival returns

Upton was badly affected in last year's flooding

A nationally-renowned music festival which was washed out during last summer's floods in Worcestershire has got under way.

The three-day blues festival in Upton upon Seven started on the same day in 2007 that heavy rain fell across the county, causing chaos.

Visitors from across the UK were stranded in the town for days after it became cut off by water.

Organisers said they hoped this year's event would pass without incident.
