Rock band Ash have pulled out of Bingley Music Live.

The Irish trio were due to perform at the three-day festival, organised by Bradford Council, on Saturday, September 4.

A statement on the festival’s website said: “Due to international commitments Ash are no longer able to join us at Bingley Music Live in 2010. Both ourselves and Ash would like to apologise to anyone who bought a ticket to specifically see them.

“We’re working hard behind the scenes to secure their replacement and we’ll be announcing as soon as we’re able to.”

A spokesman for the band’s managers, East City Management Ltd, said: “Ash would sincerely like to apologise to all their fans who bought tickets to Bingley Music Live in the hope of seeing them play but have had to pull out due to other commitments.”
