Despite forecasts threatening thunderstorms and rain there is good news on the horizon for Saturday's 21st Lakeside concert, says concert chairman Ian Edward. Having checked YR, a global weather monitoring website, Mr Edward said rain was due from 1pm on Friday to 1pm Saturday, followed by a 12-hour period of no rain. While earlier forecasts had prompted talk of alternative indoor venues, Mr Edward said the decision had been made to go ahead at the Village Green. It's one year in the planning but it all comes down to the final day," Mr Edward said. While Mr Anaru couldn't give away which songs would be played he said there would "definitely be renditions of mighty rock classics which will be unmissable".
