JAZZ, folk, bluegrass, pop, blues - it's all there at the Beggars Fair on July 11 and 12.

Live music takes place at various venues around Romsey including a main stage in The Cornmarket, various pubs and the Abbey Gardens.

All the music is free with a contrast of styles to listen to including blues with Two Came By, bluegrass with Contraband and some jazz-funk with Amarillo.

Loads more diverse acts like Barrington, Bosuns Call, The Okeh Wranglers and Chien Bizarre should ensure something to appeal to all tastes.

Southampton's Candle Club from the Talking Heads takes over The Abbey Hotel on the opening night to encourage local singers and musicians to get up and do their thing.

There are also displays of folk dancing and art and craft exhibitions throughout the two days.
