Glasgow festivals cancelled in funding squeeze
Published on 10 Apr 2010
Two popular summer events in Glasgow have been cancelled due to financial pressures.
The BBC has announced it will not be bringing Proms in the Park back to Glasgow but instead is in talks to take the concert to another Scottish city, reportedly Dundee.
Glasgow City Marketing Bureau (GCMB) has also announced that a squeeze on arts funding has forced it to cancel the River Festival, which last year generated £1.5 million and attracted 90,000 people to the city.
