This week at The Stables: With Blake, Sarabeth, Guy Davis and Never the Bride

The traditional summer 'drought' at The Stables ceases on Friday (August 19), when the Wavendon venue welcomes back Brit award winners Blake.

TIckets to see their Songs of Stage & Screen are limited, mind you - and small surprise if you've seen them live in the past.

Earlier this month the harmony trio wowed at Bedford's Proms in the Park, but this more intimate setting will still have plenty of pizzazz - with projections and lighting to bring their cinematic magic to life.

Expect to hear music by Hanz Zimmer, Ennio Morricone, Leonard Bernstein, Lloyd Webber, The Beach Boys and more...

Also at the venue this week, US acoustic bluesman Guy Davis, and here's a man capable of mixing a set up - with 12 albums to choose from, there's no risk of boredom with his performance.

His annual trip to these shores will sate the appretite of British fans, with a spellbinding time expected when he plays Stage 2 on Friday night.

Never the Bride arrive on Saturday (August 20) matching the vocal suss of Nikki Lamborn (pictured) and 'Been' Feeney at the mic and the keys, with a collective of world class musicians.

We understand this show is set to be recorded, so a chance to get your supportive 'whoops' on disc.  And legendary DJ Bob Harris is such a fan, he's coming along to introduce them to the stage...

A day later (Aug 21) and SaraBeth & Glen Mitchell take over.

Dallas born and raised, SaraBeth is a country singer-songwriter with a belter of a voice.  'Sweetly southern...with an edge,' she has been described as.

Mitchell moved to Nashville in 2001 and has since taken the role of band leader for artists including Frankie Ballard, Lonestar and Darius Rucker.

Grab a ticket and give the duo a warm welcome - it's their last show on this side of the pond, so make sure they remember it.
