Undoubtedly in preparation for a tour that will accompany the release of his eighth studio album later this year, musical sensation David Gray will be taking part in the Foresty Commission’s Live Music programme this summer, a much-anticipated set of gigs in stunning woodland locations across the country.
In addition to David Gray’s date, a myriad of other artists have joined the brace, including Paul Weller, Doves, Simply Red, James Morrison and more. The Forestry Commission is dedicated to making woodlands relevant for people in new ways and to bringing them to new audiences. The proceeds of the forest tour pay for the tour itself, making it sustainable, and provide revenue to feed back into environmental and social projects aimed at helping and sustaining the woodland.
David Gray’s interesting and inspiring career has included three UK number one albums and two prestigious Ivor Novello Awards for his singles ‘Babylon’ and ‘The Other Side’ in 2001 and 2003 respectively. Alongside this, he has also won a GQ Award for Best Solo Artist (2002), a Q Award for Best Single (2001), and has been nominated twice for Best Male (2001/2003) at the Brit Awards, alongside a Grammy Nomination for Best New Artist (2002).
David Gray will be performing at:
Thetford Forest, Near Brandon, Suffolk, Friday 10th July
Westonbirt Arboretum, Near Tetbury, Glos, Friday 17th July
Tickets are on sale now at £31.50 (subject to booking fee) and are available from the Forestry Commission Box Office tel 01842 814612, online at www.forestry.gov.uk/music or over the counter from the venue.
