The viral potato selling brother from Preston were to due to work at Lytham Festival last night, however, due to the adverse weather conditions, the festival was cancelled last minute.

The event was meant to be headlined by Alanis Morissette and the Lottery Winners but was cancelled seconds before the Lottery Winners was due to take the stage due to concerns of high winds.

The last minute cancellation has had a big impact on the independent traders who were working at the festival, including SpudBros, who shared the tough realities of working at festivals.

00:30And obviously from yesterday sales we would have been a bit busier today. We've probably lost about
00:3512,000 pounds of sales. We have actually made a loss because we've got to pay the pitch fee
