Performing in this unique woodland location on Saturday, June 27 will be Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott.

It may feel an eternity since Heaton first experienced chart success with Hull’s finest band, The Housemartins in the early 1980s and nearly as long since he hooked up with Jacqui Abbott in The Beautiful South in the late 1980s.

But the duo are still going strong. Their most recent album, What Have We Become, reached number three in the UK charts when it was released earlier in the year.

At Dalby Forest, they will be playing material from that album plus past hits by The Beautiful South and the Housemartins.

Income generated from ticket sales from the series of concerts is spent on protecting England’s forests and woodlands.
