JACK Savoretti has announced a West Country woodland concert as part of Forest Live 2019, the annual concert series organised by the Forestry Commission.

Next year will see the release of Jack Savoretti’s sixth studio album, ‘Singing To Strangers’. Recorded in Rome at Ennio Morricone’s studio, the 12 track album features co-writes with both Bob Dylan and Kylie Minogue. The album follows on from his last two gold discs ‘Written in Scars’ (2014) and ‘Sleep No More’ (2016). The special Forest Live gig will see Jack and his band play material from his new album alongside classic Savoretti tracks.

A spokesman said: “Forest Live is a major outdoor live music series held every summer by Forestry Commission England in seven beautiful forests. Over 1.75 million people have attended a forest gig in the last eighteen years. With everything required for a great night out, including good food and drink, the concerts are renowned for their informal and relaxed atmosphere.”

The date for the diary is June 15, at Westonbirt Arboretum, Gloucestershire.
