EVENING Times readers have been reacting today after we reported how a West End music festival has been cancelled.
It comes after plans to hold the event in Kelvingrove Park were rejected by Glasgow City Council.
As exclusively reported by us last week, council bosses refused organisers of the West End Fiesta permission to use the public park for a second year, due to the impact it would have on local residents.
