Photographer Nige Brown shares his highlights from another memorable Forest Live series at Westonbirt Arboretum.
This was my fifth visit covering Forest Live, and it never disappoints. This year was no exception.
Opening the series was Fatboy Slim on a beautiful summer evening in the perfect setting. He held the audience in the palm of his hand, creating great music, a visual spectacle and a night to remember.

The following nights featured Deacon Blue and UB40, both entertaining the crowd with their back catalogues of hits and bringing back plenty of memories along the way.


Rick Astley was pure fun from start to finish, dancing with his backing singers, playing drums and clearly enjoying every minute with the audience.

The final night belonged to Richard Ashcroft, supported by former Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan, who put on a blistering performance of new songs alongside old favourites.

Richard Ashcroft seemed to catch the mood of the crowd perfectly, building his set gradually and creating a very memorable evening with classics from The Verve as well as his solo material.

It was the perfect way to end another fantastic Forest Live on a hot summer night in the Cotswolds.
