Paul Weller has announced a series of gigs in spectacular woodland locations this summer. This will be a long-awaited return for his fans, having last played some forest dates in 2004 to capacity crowds.

Described as both the ‘modfather of rock’ and ‘Britpop’s elder statesman’, Paul is ultimately acknowledged by the media, fellow musicians and the public as one of the greatest singer-songwriters of British popular music. Since his early days in The Jam, then Style Council and subsequently as a hugely successful solo artist, Paul continues to make pioneering music.

Last year saw the release of the critically acclaimed number one album ‘22 Dreams’, his ninth solo album in a career spanning over three decades.

Katherine Jenkins - Sunday 14th June
Following two sell-out forest concerts in 2008, classical superstar Katherine Jenkins has announced she will be performing further woodland dates next summer as part of Forestry Commission Live Music 2009.

Re-defining the concept of classical crossover, Katherine has achieved global sales of more than three million. This autumn sees the release of her sixth album, Sacred Arias, from a remarkable mezzo-soprano whose versatility has enabled her to tackle a wide variety of styles, from the great arias of opera to the classics of Hollywood. "I’ve never done a themed album before," she says. "I’ve always tended to collect requests and other songs, but these ones came very naturally and easily to me."

Commenting on the concerts, Katherine Jenkins said ‘Following my forest tour debut this year I am really looking forward to the opportunity of performing in some more of these beautiful and unique locations in 2009’.

Tickets cost £32 (subject to booking fee)
