Simply Red will play a series of dates in spectacular woodland locations next summer as part of Forestry Commission Live Music. Mick says “As we had such fun performing at Westonbirt Arboretum this year, we decided it would be great to play all the forest concert venues around the country in 2010. It is a fantastic experience for a band to play in these unique settings".
Forestry Commission Live Music pays for itself and any profit generated goes back into improving woodlands for both wildlife and the public to enjoy.
