ENJOY a foot-stompin’ hoedown in the Forest on Saturday as Screamin’ Miss Jackson & The Slap Ya Mama Big Band perform at Forest Arts Centre, New Milton.

They play country songs like you’ve never heard before, from banjo bonanzas to blues ballads. A rambuncious eight-piece featuring guitars, mandolin, harmonica, banjo, double bass, washboard, and drums, they’re pretty eclectic, mixing Western Swing, Jug Band and Hokum blues, Ragtime, Cajun and Roots-of-Country.Tickets: 01425 612393 or forest-arts.co.uk.
