DEACON Blue have announced concerts as part of the Forestry Commission’s Forest Live music series. On Saturday, June 28 they, plus guests, will be performing at Dalby Forest, near Pickering, North Yorkshire.

They are one of the most respected of all Scottish bands with a melodic pop-rock style which gained a fervent fan base through the release of several classic albums , such as Raintown, When The World Knows Your Name and Fellow Hoodlums.

Forest Live is an independent programme organised by the Forestry Commission bringing music to new audiences without commercial branding or sponsorship. Income from the concerts is spent on improving the woodland for both people and wildlife.
