FOLK-ROCKERS Little Johnny England have been tagged 'upbeat and feelgood' - and are happy with the description.

The smiling fivesome mix their English influences with touches of Cajun and Celtic and eastern European rhythms to produce a unique sound.

The band is made up of Gareth Turner, formerly of the Albion Band and The Phil Beer Band, PJ Wright on electric slide guitar, Guy Fletcher on fiddle and former Clarion members Matt Davis on bass and Edd Frost on drums.

In the last two years, Little Johnny England have played to audiences from Britain to Hong Kong and America.

You can see them at Forest Arts, New Milton on Friday. For tickets call the box office on 01425 612393.
