The weekend’s downpours threatened to derail a concert in Bath
by newly-reformed 90s boyband Boyzone after an area close to the
stage became flooded.
With water threatening the electrics under the stage,
firefighters were called to the scene to clear the flood. In an
operation that lasted over two hours, and accompanied by the dulcet
tones of Ireland’s finest, crews created a sump to drain away the
majority of the water and cleared the excess using a light portable
pump.
