The legendary Status Quo will be appearing in Thetford Forest as part of The Forestry Commission's 2011 Forest Tours.
Status Quo have become a rock'n'roll institution. A prolific touring and recording act, they have accumulated total world-wide record sales exceeding 118 million units, with 29 of their 39 album releases making the UK top 20. Classic hits like 'Caroline', 'Down Down', 'Rockin' All Over The World', 'Whatever You Want', 'Marguerita Time' and 'In The Army Now' contribute to a presence of over seven and a half years on the British singles chart.
Status Quo duo Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt have also been awarded OBEs for services to music and for charitable work. This is complemented by a cabinet full of music industry accolades including: the coveted 'Silver Clef Award', presented annually by the Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy Trust for 'Outstanding Services to British Music'; Best Festival Feel Good Act from the UK Festival Awards; a Brit Award for 'Outstanding Contribution to the Music Industry'.
For Status Quo, Francis Rossi said, "Forestry Commission Live Music is a fantastic annual event that has become a statutory part of the UK's live music calendar. We love to bag a trip to the woods each year. We are pleased to make Thetford part of our touring plans for 2011 particularly as we had a great gig performing to a capacity crowd last time we were there."
Tickets will be priced £34 and will go on sale at 9am this Friday, 11th February, and eFestivals will have links for you to buy them then.
Forestry Commission Live Music encourages people to see their local forests in a new way and return again to explore the beautiful woodland environment and the recreational and leisure opportunities on offer.
