WIN! Tickets to see punk icons Blondie

And YOU could be there if you are the lucky winner of our competition.

We have teamed up with organisers the Forestry Commission to offer a pair of tickets up for grabs.

Blondie are embarking on a special tour of the nation’s woodlands in the summer of 2013, when they will be performing as part of the Forest Live concert series.

The band, emerged from New York’s celebrated new wave scene, producing innovative music with their rock/disco, reggae and hip-hop influenced songs.

Fronted by pop icon Deborah Harry, their ground-breaking material brought them a stash of hit singles such as Denis, (I’m Always Touched by Your) Presence Dear, Picture This, Dreaming, Union City Blue and Rapture.

Now local audiences can hear the big hits in the natural tree-lined auditorium, set within the forest near Clipstone.

Blondie’s 20 year span of Number One hits includes Heart Of Glass, Sunday Girl, Atomic, Call Me, The Tide Is High and Maria.

And special guests each evening will be The Lightning Seeds performing an acoustic set of their perfect pop songs like Pure, Lucky You and Change.

The group experienced commercial success in the 1990s and are well known for their Three Lions single which reached Number One in the UK in 1996 and 1998.

Forest Live is an independent programme organised by the Forestry Commission bringing music to new audiences without commercial branding or sponsorship.

Income generated from ticket sales is spent on improving the local forests for both people and wildlife.

With everything required for a great night out, including full catering and bar facilities, the gigs are renowned for their relaxed atmosphere.

Blondie with special guests The Lightning Seeds perform at Sherwood Pines, near Clipstone, Notts, on Friday 14th June 2013.

Tickets £36.00 (subject to booking fee) are available from the Forestry Commission box office on 03000 680400 or online at www.forestry.gov.uk/music
