WESTLIFE have announced a brace of shows this summer as part of Forestry Commission Live Music where acts perform in spectacular woodland at locations around the country. They will be appearing at Thetford Forest near Brandon in Suffolk on Friday, July 15. During their 12 years at the top of pop’s hierarchy, Westlife have sold more than 43 million records around the world. In the UK alone they have scored 10 multi-platinum albums and 14 Number One hits, making them the top-selling group of the past decade. This prolific chart domination is attributed to hits like Swear It Again, Flying Without Wings, What Makes A Man, Uptown Girl, Queen Of My Heart, World Of Our Own, Unbreakable, You Raise Me Up and The Rose. Critical acclaim for the group has come via numerous awards including two BRITS, an MTV Europe Music Award and being the only artists to win the prestigious Record of the Year an incredible four times.
