There are a lot of events to enjoy this weekend...be it something steamy at Weymouth Pavilion or something steamy on the railway!

*ADULT entertainment comes to Weymouth Pavilion tonight at 7.30pm.

Enter the titillating world of Tassels… Burlesque, but not as you know it.

Prepare for a show that breathes new life and a touch of fire into the much-loved genre.

The audience can expect sultry vocals and a live jazz band together with re-imagined modern hits. Contact the box office for tickets.

*SCOTTISH-BORN, London-based Ross Wilson performs as his alter ego Blue Rose Code tonight at Dorchester Corn Exchange.

His music addresses the themes of love, loss, travel, home, accepting the past and embracing the future, all painted with colours of folk, jazz, soul and pop. This eclectic mix has become a hallmark of Blue Rose Code and has seen him compared to John Martyn, Van Morrison and Tom Waits.

Contact Dorchester Arts for tickets.

*THE life and music of the legendary Matt Monro will be celebrated in Weymouth tomorrow night.

The Matt Monro Story, The Final Tour, starring Matt Monro Jr, comes to Weymouth Pavilion at 7.30pm.

This is a unique event of music, warmth and love, keeping the memory of the man who was known as “The Man with the Golden Voice”, alive.

From Born Free to Walk Away to Portrait Of My Love, be prepared to be transported in time by this tribute to one of Britain’s most popular and endearing singers, named “the singers’ singer” by his peers.

The show is enhanced by audio visual and narration. Call the box office for tickets.

*THE three-day Swanage Railway Autumn Steam Gala begins today and runs until Sunday.

There will be at least one guest locomotive supporting the railway’s own fleet.

The iconic Duchess of Sutherland, the only one of its class still operational, is 80 years old and has just had a £150,000 overhaul.

She’ll be back on the rails and visiting Swanage as part of the gala.

The Duchess will be coming down from the Midland Railway.

It was returned to the track and in 2002 - as part of the Queen’s golden jubilee celebrations - became the first steam locomotive to haul the Royal Train in 35 years.
