Saffron Walden-based musician Joanna Eden made two appearances on stage at this year's Heritage Live series at Audley End House and Gardens.

Joanna supported Simple Minds on the opening night of the four-day concert series at the English Heritage estate in Essex on Thursday, August 11.

The singer-songwriter returned three days later on the Sunday to open for the legendary Sir Tom Jones.

There to capture the moment on August 14 and Joanna's set in full was photographer Celia Bartlett.

Joanna has performed at Heritage Live a number of times over the years and her great set on the Sir Tom Jones day this year finished with Love's Children.

This gave the opportunity for another young Saffron Walden musician to share the stage with her.

Maeve Halligan is well-known to Walden people as a member of the traditional Irish group The Hooligans, and played her violin for this number.

Joanna always wants to encourage and support young musicians where she can.
