Charlotte Church is set to perform new music at Blissfields festival. The 26-year-old songstress, who released her sixth album Back To Scratch in 2010, will make a 'very special' appearance on the second stage to preview some previously unheard material at the Hampshire boutique music festival. The Voice Of An Angel - who has been keeping a low profile since her split with ex-fiancee Gavin Henson - is set to be joined by Britain's Got Talent semi-finalist Lauren Thalia, Patrick Wolf, The Noisettes and The Guillemots on the line-up, although it is not known which date she will be playing. Festival organisers said: "We are delighted when Charlotte approached us to preview new material at the event. We've always upheld the belief that Blissfields should be a place for all kinds of music, both emerging and established, and we know she'll put on a quality show that everybody will enjoy. "We've already confirmed pretty much all of our bill, but found a way to make this work - and of course we're really excited by the announcement," they added. Blissfields will take place at Woodmancott, Hampshire from June 29 to July 1.
