Towersey's jazz singing Lady of the Manor and parish council chairman is ready to swing again.

As Marie-Jane Barnett she is the chatelaine of Towersey Manor and chairman of the five-strong parish council.

But let the music sound and she becomes jazz singer Pussy Barnett.

She organises Jazz at the Manor concerts and on June 20 has the Grand Dominion Jazz Band performing there.

On July 26, she will be taking vocals with Joe Thompson and his Quartet -- to coincide with the release of her second CD PB II -- Serve Chilled.

Tickets for the first concert are £12.50 and the gardens at the Manor are open from 7pm for al fresco diners.

On July 26, tickets are £25 and include a buffet supper.
