Robin Hill park manager James Crofts said: “We’re over the moon that we’re able to bring The Woodland Sessions back for a second year to further enhance Robin Hill’s, and indeed the Island’s, exciting summer season of events.

"To attract talent such as Russell Watson to The Woodland Sessions in only our second year is a huge coup.
