Traffic jam means Bluetones miss Witnness

The Bluetones had to cancel their performance at Witnness because they were stuck in a traffic jam.

They caught a ferry to Ireland after a Portsmouth gig last night but missed their slot on the main stage.

Eds Chesters and Adam Devlin said the band were really upset to have missed the festival.

They said: "We were stuck in traffic. It took us three hours to get from the ferry to here instead of an hour so we've missed out slot.

The Bluetones couldn't reschedule their slot, but are hoping to play a couple of songs in the acoustic tent.
