Grooves on the Green runs from noon until 7pm on 11 and 12 July at Ashley Cross Green with music on two stages, a local beer and food festival, kidzone and mini film festival. Now in its 15th year, £1 from every ticket sold is donated to Diverse Abilities Plus, which helps children and adults in Dorset who live with profound disability.

Saturday’s Main Stage is topped by Bournemouth-based funk groove machine The Baker Brothers with slinky jazz/d&b fusionists G13, Afro-Cubano-reggae mixers Afro Tallawah, jazz-soul-blues chanteuse Kaia, the laidback sunshine vibe of All About Tobe and local busking favourites Krista Green & the Bees also appearing.

Sunday’s headliner Mutant Vinyl is playing his only local show of the year at Grooves as he readies his Paul McCartney/Tricky-endorsed sound for the summer festivals. He’ll be appearing with indie pop classicists Duveaux, Southampton math-pop quartet Signals, Afrobeat indie pop merchants Not Made In China, long standing Bournemouth outfit Fearne and performance folkorists Wikkaman.
