TICKETS go on sale for the popular, annual Blues at the Abbey in Titchfield on Saturday.

The event, on Saturday, July 16, attracts about 2,000 music lovers to Titchfield Abbey and raises funds to stage the village's carnival in October.

The four blues acts on this year's bill are Memo Gonzalez and the Bluescasters, The Cadillac Kings, Backwater Roll and Sons of the Delta.

Tickets, priced £16, are available from Fareham and Gosport Tourist Information Centres, Hadlows, the Fisherman's Rest and the Queen's Head in Titchfield. The event is staged by the Titchfield Bonfire Boys Society.
