Paul Weller is to headline a special Eden Session in support of The Prince's Rainforests Project.

Paul Weller will headline the special Eden Session on Friday 10th July. The concert is part of a broader programme of joint EDF Energy and Eden initiatives which are being launched this year to encourage collective action in the fight against climate change.

Peter Hampel, Eden's Creative Director, said, "This concert is a really exciting addition to the 2009 Eden Sessions line-up and we are delighted to be drawing attention to the vital work of The Prince's Rainforests Project. We are really grateful for the support of EDF Energy to enable us to host what will be an amazing night of music from one of the world's most respected and enduring artists.."

HRH The Prince of Wales set up the Princes Rainforest Project in 2007, in order to build awareness about the need to slow the rate of tropical deforestation to prevent catastrophic climate change. This gig will raise public awareness about the link between rainforests and climate change and encourage people to sign up to the awareness campaign.

Weller joins the previously confirmed Eden Sessioners Kasabian, Razorlight, Oasis, and The Kooks with Ladyhawke.
