WHAT'S ON AT THE STABLES: JOANNA EDEN, T'PAU, NINEBARROW AND MORE...

All tickets to see Pink Floyd tribute Think Floyd at The Stables this Thursday (Jan 22) have sold out, but there is still availability for those of you who want to check out the stunning playability of Sax Appeal on Friday night (Jan 23).

SA pulls together some of the finest saxophonists in the country - Derek Nash, Paul Booth, Simon Allen, Bob McKay, Scott Garland, Mike Bradley, Phil Scragg and Pete Adams, and puts them alongside a first-class rhythm section.

Then, you take a pew and let them entertain you with a sterling set of sax-y sounds, no doubt including music listed from last year's album, Funkerdeen.

Tickets are £16.50, doors at 8pm.

Over on Stage 2, Joanna Eden (above, with Sam Smith) will be in song.  If you've heard her name of late, it could be for her rather wonderful jazz-influenced deliveries (she has four albums in the racks), or it could be because a certain singer who had an exceptional 2014 has been bigging up the Lincolnshire-born lass.

Sam Smith - who bagged the Critics Choice Award for 2014, before scoring a No.1 hit with Stay With Me and has just been nominated for a clutch of Grammy awards - is a longtime associate of Joanna's.

She was actually his first singing teacher, and according to a recent tweet by Sam, Joanna is 'the reason why I sing...'

Eden wrote and performed her first song at the wee age of seven, and could read music before she could write - making beautiful sounds was clearly her calling.

Listen to her progression from 8.45pm.  Tickets are a snip, at £12.50.

T'Pau - who celebrated their quarter century in the business in 2013 - are back in play, with a new album set to roll in 2015, and a rescheduled tour date that will see the band land on the Wavedon stage on Saturday night (Jan 24).

The forthcoming opus is a pretty momentous one too - it's the first time in close to 25 years that original songwriters Carol Decker and Ron Rogers have reunited.

They were the same duo responsible for the smash hits including China in your Hand and Heart and Soul, of course.

Expect those numbers, together with a slew of other past successes and forthcoming releases, to hit the spot. 

Speaking about the album, Carole (above) said: "We're no different to anyone else. "Our story and our lives reflect what happens to everyone, everyday.  We've reached the stage where there's nothing in the way anymore.

"We can go out and be ourselves, and that's what these songs and this tour are about.

"We're immensely proud of what we've achieved both in the past, and particularly with this new album."

Last up this week, a Stage 2 performance, also on Saturday, by award-winning Dorsetshire folk duo Ninebarrow (below) bringing their 'innovative and captivating take on the folk tradition,' to our doorstep.
