Friday 2nd July - Delamere Forest, Delamere, Cheshire.

Commenting on the concerts, Mick Hucknall said, "As we had such fun performing a solo forest show 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."

Tickets will be priced at £38. They will go on sale at 9.00am Friday 6th November 2009 and eFestivals will have links to buy them then.
