Jazz singer and songwriter, Eden hosts regular jazz nights at Joanna's Place with internationally acclaimed singers, musicans and poets.
Born in Lincolnshire, she wrote and performed her first song, Happy December, aged seven. The daughter of a musician and a drama teacher, she could read music before she could write.
She studied piano from the age of four and left university 17 years later with her first tour (with college indie-band Precious), an all consuming love of Ella Fitzgerald and a weakness for drummers.
Since then, Eden has released four albums and over 35 original songs.
A singing teacher, her most famous pupil is Sam Smith who has written songs with Joanna and was nominated for six Grammy Awards one year and another year won four.
Smith has two Guinness World Records, one for recording the first James Bond theme song to go to number one in the UK, and another for spending the most consecutive weeks in the UK top 10 with a debut album (In the Lonely Hour).
His song, Writing's on the Wall, for the Bond movie, Spectre, won a Golden Globe and an Oscar for Best Original Song.
Eden also has community singing groups including a project for young people who might not otherwise have the funds for singing lessons.
The Magic of the Movies - A Swinging Christmas is at Fairycroft House, 37 Audley Road, Saffron Walden CB11 3HD on November 30.
8pm. Tickets, £18 from www.joannaeden.net/joannas-place or Amy Louise Florists at 31 High St Saffron Walden, CB10 1AT.
