Barclay James Harvest at Cheese & Grain

Barclay James Harvest will play at the Cheese and Grain later this month just one day after their Glastonbury Festival debut.

The melodic rockers will play the Frome venue on Saturday 25th June at 8pm.

Founding member John Lees continues to tour with the band – now referred to at John Lees’ Barclay James Harvest – after the death of his co-star Stuart ‘Woolly’ Wolstenholme in 2010.

The melodic rock band with classical leanings emerged from Oldham in the late sixties and produced nine studio albums and two live doubles in the first decade.

The ‘60s and ‘70s were considered their most creative and productive, churning out such classics as “Mocking Bird”, “Galadriel”, “Child Of The Universe” and “Hymn”.

John stayed with BJH after ‘Woolly’ left in 1979, and it would be nearly twenty years before the guitar and keyboard legends would work together again before Woolly’s death.

International tours and prestigious festival appearances have once again become the norm for JLBJH, and as their fans worldwide dictate, long may the story continue.

Tickets are £20 in advance. For more information or to book go to www.cheeseandgrain.com

  • Book Boogie to start annual reading challenge

An event to mark the start of the Summer Reading Challenge is being held outside of Frome Library on Tuesday 21st July.

Children in Frome are invited to the ‘Book Boogie’ at 4pm where they can take their favourite book for a boogie led by Cheryl Sprinkler of Mojo Moves.

The boogie will mark the national Summer Reading Challenge, which, since 1999 has encouraged children to read or listen to six books of their choosing from their local public library, along the way they will collect stickers and cards to celebrate their reading milestones.

The theme of this year’s challenge is ‘Read to the Beat’. “We thought what better way to celebrate the challenge and the end of the school term, than with a Book Boogie,” said chairperson of Friends of Frome Library, Kerry Meech.

  • Investigations continue into ‘suspicious’ Saxonvale fire

Police are continuing to investigate a ‘suspicious’ fire which caused extensive damage to a derelict warehouse on the Saxonvale site.

The fire broke out at around 3.40pm on Wednesday 1st July at a warehouse on the site.

Fire crews, including Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, tackled the blaze, which caused extensive fire and smoke damage. The roof of the building collapsed during the incident, but no casualties were reported.

Following the fire, Somerset Council carried out asbestos and structural surveys, which identified a small amount of debris in the neighbouring Lidl car park. A specialist asbestos contractor removed the debris on Friday 10th July.
