A THREE Choirs Festival concert in Hereford Cathedral was delayed yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) after a director suffered concussion in a car accident.

Business director of Florilegium, Ashley Solomon, was travelling out of London on his way to the performance when the accident happened.

Festival administrator, Liz Pooley, said his injuries were not serious.

Mr Solomon had been due to play a flute solo during the concert, which was delayed by 15 minutes while a replacement was found.
