Singer Aled Jones will only be making one appearance this summer in Worcester after being inadvertently double-booked by festival organisers.

The singer, famed for his recording of Walking in the Air for the animated film The Snowman, was booked by Millennium Music in January to appear at its Picnic @ the Wicket festival at Worcestershire County Cricket Ground.

But last month Wyvern FM also booked him for its Classical Picnic and Proms at the same venue.

"We were looking for an act for the classical day and thought of Aled Jones," said Wyvern FM programme controller Philip Monk.

"When we booked him we had no idea he would be appearing at Picnic @ the Wicket.

"We spoke to his management who said he couldn't do both dates, so we said it was fine and we would cancel."

Wyvern FM are now hoping to book another big act for the classical day of the two-day festival, but are keeping the name under wraps until the contract is signed.

"It is a very exciting possibility and we are all keeping our fingers crossed," said Mr Monk.

Wyvern's festival will feature the English National Orchestra, conducted by Jae Alexander, on Sunday, June 1.

The preceding day will feature a pop concert starring Atomic Kitten, Big Brovaz, Fame Academy's Sinead Quinn and Limahl, lead singer of 80s band Kajagoogoo.

Picnic @ the Wicket, presented by Millennium Music and Saga 105.7FM, will also feature both pop and classical days, on Saturday and Sunday, July 12 and 13.

The other big-name classical act is the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.

"The CBSO is world renowned and this will be its first time in Worcester for 17 years," said David Coleman, of Shropshire record label Millennium Music.

The pop day will feature Abba tribute band Voulez-Vous and the Upbeat Beatles.

"This is the first time we have organised a live event of this size and we hope to make it an annual event," said Mr Coleman.
