Jacksons gig music promoter in new row

A music promoter who took a dispute with the Manx government online is at the centre of a row over a cancelled music festival in the UK.

Lee O'Hanlon rowed with the Department of Economic Development over loss-making concerts by the Jacksons in 2014 and Tom Jones last year.

At the weekend, the hope and Glory Festival he was running in Liverpool descended into chaos as its second day was cancelled.

Mr O'Hanlon initially aside the event - featuring James and Charlotte Church - would continue after complaints of poor organisation and overcrowding on Saturday.

But he took to Twitter on Sunday to announce "no festival today".
