Chase gigs fail to sell out
Two out of three forest concerts on Cannock Chase have failed to sell out, it emerged today.
All tickets for The Feeling have gone, but there are still some available for James Morrison and Jools Holland.
But with just four days left until the first concert starts, organisers are keen to raise the profile of the events.
Revellers snapped up more than 70 per cent of the 13,500 tickets available for the three concerts within weeks of going on sale in March.
It is only the second time Cannock Chase has hosted such concerts at Birches Valley, which can each cater for 4,500 people, and they were expected to be a huge success.
The concerts, held over three nights, are part of the Forestry Commission's national Forest Tour. The Feeling will perform on Friday with special guest Ghosts.
Brit Award winner James Morrison will be there on Saturday and Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra will be there on Sunday, with guest vocalists Lulu, Louise Marshall and Ruby Turner.
Tickets cost £30 (subject to booking fee).
They are available from Birches Valley in Cannock Chase, by calling 01842 814612 or on-line from www.forestry.gov.uk/music and www.ticketmaster.co.uk
The national tour includes 25 concerts at seven sites across England.
