The show – on July 15 – also features Baskery, known as the 'Queens of Banjo Punk'.

Famed for their brilliant live performances, they combine extraordinary musicianship, telepathic sibling harmonies with classic roots and alternative Americana.

They have appeared at some of the world's most renowned festivals such as Glastonbury, Portland Waterfront Blues Festival and Calgary Folk Festival and in 2015 were opened for Robbie Williams' Let Me Entertain You tour.

The venue has hosted a long list of great performers over the past 20 years, including the likes of 10cc, Joan Armatrading; the Lightning Seeds, Lulu, Jason Donovan, Heaven 17, Kid Creole, Courtney Pine and even The Stranglers.

Taking advantage of the natural mini amphitheatre in the pool grounds, the event has grown to six nights - raising in the region of £100,000 each year for the Trust.

While the added bonus for concert goers is the opportunity to enjoy a swim before getting stuck in to their picnics and the performances.

Importantly, funds raised for the event will support the Trust that operates the treasured community pool.

Financial support has become crucial at a time when all pool operators have faced big increases in energy costs.

The Hampton Pool Summer Picnic Concerts started in a modest fashion over two nights in 2002, however its success has seen it grow to the become a key feature of summer in south west London.
