Moseley Folk festival will be 'success' despite Fusion

Organisers of a folk festival in Birmingham are confident it will still be a success despite a bigger event planned nearby over the same weekend.

The Fusion Festival in Birmingham's Cofton Park could attract up to 60,000 people between 31 August and 1 September.

The manager of Moseley Folk Festival, which is likely to attract a fraction of that crowd, said you have to organise a festival for the right reasons.

John Fell said: "If you're a true fan of the music you're putting on and you're trying to create a special event, market it right and set the event up correctly, I think it will be a success."
