The final act for this year’s Forest Live concerts at Thetford Forest’s High Lodge would be the cheeky chappy from Essex and X-Factor runner-up turned Xtra Factor presenter, Olly Murs. Fresh from playing Cannock Chase in Staffordshire the night before, Murs had brought early 2000s star Daniel Bedingfield along for both gigs.
Finally it was Olly Murs turn to grace the stage and close out a series of gigs which have been blessed with great weather in beautiful surroundings this year. He joined his band on stage as they played an extended intro to Change is Gonna Come, he worked his way down the stairs in the middle of the stage with a positive swagger and confidence.
Murs would then move into Wrapped Up, singing and dancing his way from one side of the stage to the other with a presence that was sure to get plenty in the crowd hot under the collar with Elvis like moves.
