Will said: “Both James and I have fond memories of appearing as part of Forest Live as solo artists in the past. We love the work Forestry England does, so we are glad to be back again in what promises to be a fantastic double-header of a show.”

James added: "I think our sets will complement each other in a special way and I’m really looking forward to our shows together. It’ll be a great night out.”
