The pair's first CD Joi De Vivre was released last winter and distributed worldwide.

Tickets for both events are available from Bridport Tourist Information Centre and cost £8, £7 Friends. Performances start at 7.30pm.

Eype Church Centre for the Arts is also currently staging an art exhibition of paintings inspired by the Jurassic coastline.

The display runs until Sunday, October 1 and has already attracted a record-breaking number of visitors.
