Success for Notts music festival that was declared a scam after power station confusion

The organiser of a live music event near a Nottinghamshire power station says he couldn't be happier with how it went after an initial marketing mix-up led authorities to declare it a scam. The 'Low Down Deep' outdoor event took place over the bank holiday weekend at the Redhill Marina event field.

The site is located near the Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station, which was mentioned in the festival's original marketing material. But Stuart Heather, 46, from promotion company Submerged & BassLayerz, said he could have "kicked himself" for mentioning it after it led to a warning being issued about the event.

Power station operator Uniper issued warnings about advertised events on August 28 and 29, a warning which at one stage was shared by Rushcliffe Borough Council before it was later removed from its website. The August 29 event advertised itself as an under-18s event featuring live DJs and funfair rides.
