King King are on the up and up, and consequently tickets to see the Brit blues-rock aces at The Stables on Thursday night (May 5) are all gone.
Stage 2 attraction West My Friend are still booking though. The Canadian folk adventurers are touring Europe to raise awareness of their new elpee Quiet Hum, which is out next month.
Those who have heard it, have declared this newbie as an immensely clever album of indie roots and chamber folk.
It also boasts occasional sounds of tree frogs, ferry horns and horses, courtesy of the inhabitants of Maine Island, where the recording happened.
Its appeal comes because of its own style appreciation – with moments and feeling plucked from jazz, classical, folk and pop influences.
The Stables is the penultimate date of the tour, folks, so let's make it good one for them.
By the time you sweep your eyes over this, tickets to see Strictly Come Dancing pro's Ian Waite and Natalie Lowe dance their way around the venue might be all gone, to be honest.
They'll be delivering perfect footwork in a mix of ballroom and latin at Friday's show (May 6), if you are quick enough to dance to the phone and bag one of the new remaining tickets.
Musical accompaniment will come from Luke Upton.
Eric Bibb begins a two-night stand at the venue on Saturday night (May 7) back to continue plugging his 2015 album Lead Belly's Gold.
The release wowed the critics and fans alive, and it debuted at the No5 spot in the French Jazz chart, which ain't half bad.
Palmerston will be in play over on Stage 21, but you'll not be going if you don't already have a ticket – it's been sold-out for weeks now.
Something a little bit different is waiting for you on Sunday (May 8) afternoon, when Jane Bower presents Daddy's Diaries.
Throughout World War II, Jane's father Leonard kept a diary.
Her conversations with him as a highly intelligent conversationalist of 95 years young, and the words he wrote and spoke, inspired her to create this moving one-woman show.
Leonard's war was one of great contrasts; as a gifted clarinettist and an instructor of fighter pilots.
He was also a trained illustrator using his skills to deliver diagrams to help the aircrews learn.
And as if all that wasn't quite enough, he was also falling in love...
Eric Bibb is back in the saddle on Sunday evening, and then as a new week dawns, Ryan McGarvey is charged with making Monday evening a good one.
To be fair, it's not a hard task for the man, whose great guitar playing and blues flavoured solid hard rock has won him an international fan base.
In recent years he has stage shared with a few people you may have heard of; Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, B.B.King, Joe Bonamassa and many more.
If there's one thing better than watching one fret-feeler command at his craft, it's watching two, side by side, and that is the case with this show, which features the decidedly special bass playing of Carmine Rojas.
Let's give you a sprinkling of his pedigree – he was a member of David Bowie's touring band for four years in the eighties, and also played on hits including Let's Dance, China Girl and Modern Love.
He spent a decent amount of time with Julian Lennon, and was MD and bassist for Rod Stewart for more than a decade.
He's also worked with the Clapton's and Beck's of the world, and Jagger and Winwood, and not forgetting Billy Joel, Paul Rodgers, Billy Gibbons, Carlos Santana, Allen Toussaint and way too many others to spill in the here and now.
For the past decade or so he has worked closely with the blues ace Joe Bonamassa, too, in the live and on plenty of releases.
This gig really is going to be a belter. Be lucky, go get a ticket.
Tuesday's (May 10) puts you at the musical mercy of Nashville player Cale Tyson, (top) who has a new album to promote, and Careless Soul has been afforded four and five star reviews from The Sun newspaper to Uncut magazine and many inbetween.
Friend of The Stables, Radio 2 spinner Bob Harris has called Cale 'This year's major breakthrough act,' but we do like the way Rolling Stone puts it; 'Old school, sad-b***ard country for a new generation of excited country fans.'
He'll be joined at musical play by bassist Andrew Hunt, drummer Pete Lindberg and pedal steel player Smokin' Brett Resnick.
“It'll be a bit more rowdy than our last acoustic tour!” Cale promises.
Support comes from My Girl The River.
Over on Stage 2, the Tom Harrison Quartet will treat you to real jazz expression, as the alt-saxophonist and his fellow players show that the art of jazz is more than simple mastery of the instrument.
And then on Wednesday (May 11) Roy Ayers (above), a pioneer of Britain's acid jazz movement will be in control.
A busy week, packing plenty of musical punch.
