Tom Odell set to play Forestry Commission gigs in 2015
Tom Odell has announced a unique new UK tour for summer 2015. The 24 year old singer/songwriter will be joining Forest Live, an independent programme of events organised by the Forestry Commission. Playing in forests and woodlands across the UK, Tom will be joined by other acts such as The Script in this unique series of events.
Odell has had a smash hit year, winning the Ivor Novello Award for Songwriter of the Year and having renewed interest in his music after his connection with this year’s famed John Lewis Christmas advert. Covering ‘Real Love’ by John Lennon, Odell’s version of the track appeared in the highly anticipated advert and saw him peak at number 7 in the UK charts.
Now Christmas trees are being swapped for Oak, Ash and Pine when Forest Live opens in June. "This will be a whole new experience for me," said Odell. "I can’t wait to bring my live show to the woods and I hope to see you there." Hoping to open the forests to new visitors, all of the money raised from the shows will go towards protecting and expanding England’s forests and woodlands.
Tickets for Odell's shows go on sale at 9am on Friday December 19 from the Forestry Commission Box Office. He will appear, along with other acts, at these events across June and July…
Friday 19 June: Bedgebury Pinetum, near Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
Saturday 20 June: Westonbirt Arboretum, near Tetbury, Glos.
Thursday 25 June: Dalby Forest, near Pickering, N Yorks.
