A host of top acts are fine-tuning as they prepare to perform at the eagerly-awaited Nantwich Jazz, Blues and Music Festival.
Tickets are selling well ahead of the festival which runs from Thursday April 17 through to Easter Monday April 21.
Big acts coming to the town include well-known 90s indie act Dodgy, Ed Tudor who was frontman of the well-known 70s/80s band Tenpole Tudor, and Geno Washington and Northern Soul Train.
Organisers say there are still a few tickets available for the headline acts, while wristbands are selling well which gain entry to all the other official venues hosting live music.
Ed Tudor plays at The Crown Hotel on Thursday April 17, while Thea Gilmore will be Nantwich Civic on the same night.
The Bluetones will be the Civic on Good Friday night while Nigel Stonier and friends perform at the Crown.
Headline act Dodgy will play at Nantwich Civic Hall on Easter Saturday, then at the same venue on Sunday will be Geno Washington and Northern Soul Train.
Finally on Easter Monday, you can watch Lucy Spraggan at the Civic Hall while The Spirit & Sound of Steely Dan – Nearly Dan will perform at St Mary’s Church in the afternoon.
