Singer songwriter Jess Vincent, whose latest album Shine has won her rave reviews and an army of new followers, is coming to Swindon to take part in this month's Lazy Sunday Afternoon session.

The acoustic music series runs through the hazy lazy days of summer, organised by Steve Cox, lead singer with Mr Love and Justice.

Jess is a folk singer from Bradford On Avon, who sings her own songs to arrangements on guitar, baritone ukelele and harmonium.

The other special guest this week is David Moss, a multi-instrumentalist and former member of the folk favourites Banoffi. The lead singer with Light Garden has recently scooped an award with the PRS Foundation ATOM.

Dave plays bousouki, mandolin, fiddle, viola, cello and guitar. He is well known for his throat singing, which is a Mongolian method used for healing and meditation, where he sings two notes at once.

Steve will also be singing with his own group, Mr Love and Justice. The English folk pop band took their name from a studio album by folk rock maestro Billy Bragg. Steve started the band in the 1990s, and the collective has had an open door policy when it comes to the line-up but regulars include Rob Beckinsale, Brendan Hamley, Nick Weaver and Pete Fitzsimmons.

The guys are always in demand on the festival circuit notching up gigs at Guildford Blues Festival, Wychwood at Cheltenham, Lammas in Eastbourne, The Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival, Trowbridge Village Pump and even sailing across the English Channel to play at the Laimont Acoustic Guitar Festival in France. They played at the Wyvern Theatre for the Mayor's Charity Concert, Smile, in 2009 alongside X Factor's Jahmene Douglas.

Mr Love and Justice have four albums under their belt including News From Nowhere, Watchword, Homeground and Hope vs Fear. They often have guest artists appearing on the albums such as former XTC keyboard player Barry Andrews and Canadian roots singer David Celia.

While frequently described as quintessentially English because of their folk roots sound, the band are actually flying the flag as true Swindonians. They are also keen to promote the town's own musical talent. The Lazy Sunday Afternoon gigs are held monthly through out the summer in various venues including the Town Gardens band stand. The guest artists are a mix of new up and coming musicians and seasoned veterans.

Live roots music will be performed this Sunday, May 15 at 3pm, in the Savernake Street Community Hall, Savernake Street, Old Town. For tickets at £6 visit www.wegottickets.com/event/355709. - Flicky Harrison
