UK Poet Laureate Simon Armitage is set to bring his acclaimed live music and poetry group LYR to Frome later this year.
The three-piece group will perform at the Cheese & Grain on Wednesday 2nd December. LYR features Simon alongside producer and multi-instrumentalist Patrick Pearson and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Richard Walters.
Blending spoken-word poetry with atmospheric electronics and melodic songwriting, the trio have developed a distinctive sound that crosses genres and explores a wide range of themes.
The performance forms part of the group’s most extensive UK tour to date, following a series of sell-out shows in recent years, a widely praised appearance at the BBC Proms in 2025 and the release of two critically acclaimed albums. Their latest tour will include material from their forthcoming album, Dark Sky Reservation.
“Soaring vocals, ethereal soundscapes and extraordinary lyrics have made LYR shows an unmissable and unforgettable experience, from a group who are now an essential part of the contemporary music scene,” said the Cheese & Grain.
This will be a seated event, with tickets available via the Cheese & Grain box office and website.
