The rain may have poured down in the evening - but Day Two of the legendary Mostly Jazz, Soul & Funk Festival proved to be as popular as ever as families and friends gathered to enjoy the summer vibe and great music in Moseley Park, Birmingham.
Festival favourite Smoove and Turrell, Young Gun Silver Fox, Heavy Beat Brass Band, Lara Jones, Birmingham Royal Ballet were on the bill for Saturday along with street food favourites Bonehead and a huge selection of food and drink outlets before the storms broke out.
Organisers acted swiftly to evacuate the site to ensure safety as the heavy downpours flooded parts of Moseley Park, which was safe to reopen for the final day today (Sunday, July 9) with KC & The Sunshine Band, Incognito, Craig Charles, Huey Morgan and Jamz Supernova.
The diverse festival prides itself on celebrating ground-breaking, innovative UK music alongside international trailblazers. Here’s 38 pictures from Saturday:
