Kris Barras Band

Friday 8th July. Doors from 8pm. Tickets are £21.50 in advance. One of the UK’s breakout artists over the past few years, the Kris Barras Band are set for an incredible 12 months ahead; they’ve just finished a sold-out UK tour with Kentucky’s favourite sons Black Stone Cherry, culminating with a show at the world-famous Royal Albert Hall. 

Wilko Johnson plus special guest John Otway  

Saturday 9th July from 7pm. Tickets are £30.50 in advance. Following a remarkable recovery from diagnosis of terminal cancer, Wilko Johnson the original Dr Feelgood guitarist, actor (Game of Thrones character Ser ilyn Payne) and all-round national treasure has enjoyed a rousing return to the live arena. 

Frome Symphony

Sunday 10th July from 7.30pm – tickets are £12 for an adult, £5 for under 18’s. Frome Symphony Orchestra performing an exciting programme featuring Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major. 

Stiff Little Fingers

Monday 11th July at 7.30pm. Tickets are £28 in advance. The ‘In Your Back yard’ summer tour will see The Iconic Punk Rock band kicking off the July leg of their tour at The Cheese and Grain this summer! Stiff Little Fingers formed in 1977 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Their first album, Inflammable Material, made the world aware of The Troubles — the sectarian civil war happening in Northern Ireland at the time — and is generally considered to be one of the greatest punk albums of all time. They were there at the start of the punk rock movement and are still recording and touring today. 

Green Haze

Friday 15th July from 8pm. Tickets are £12.50 in advance. The No1 Green Day Tribute act, Green Haze regularly play to sell-out crowds at some of the biggest and most established venues & festivals, including The Manchester Academy, BugJam Festival at The Santa Pod Raceway, The O2 Academies & The Rugby 7s Festival in Dubai to name just a few! 

Metallica Reloaded 

Friday 22nd July from 8pm. Tickets are £16 in advance. With over 50 years’ gigging experience amongst them, Metallica Reloaded are very skilled musicians that take their approach and sound very seriously, using exactly the same guitars and musical equipment as Metallica themselves.

Guns N’ Roses Experience

Friday 29th July from 8pm. Tickets are £15 in advance. Guns N’ Roses Experience are the biggest, the best, the most successful and the most in demand GN’R tribute in the world. Not an over-hyped claim; so close to the original that three different members of Guns N’ Roses have personally asked them to join them on stage.

The Orb Uford 30th anniversary live show

Saturday 30th July from 8pm. Tickets are £25 in advance. In July 1992 seminal ambient house band, The Orb hit the number one spot in the UK album charts with the genre-defining album UFOrb. This July The Orb will perform the album live in its entirety for the first and last time. They will also be adding on a small fluffy classic set at the end.

  • Flyte return to Cheese and Grain

English singer-songwriters Flyte will be returning to Frome next month for a show at the Cheese and Grain.

Formed by longtime friends Will Taylor and Nick Hill, the band will perform on Friday 11th September.

Flyte will be returning to Frome after releasing recordings last year from a day spent at the Bert Jansch Studio. They also performed at the Tree House in 2024.

Organisers said, “Flyte have quietly built a reputation as one of the UK’s most thoughtful and emotionally resonant modern bands. Across acclaimed releases including The Loved Ones, This Is Really Going To Hurt and their 2023 self-titled album Flyte, the duo have carved out a sound that blends classic singer-songwriter intimacy with rich, contemporary production and breathtaking vocal harmony.

  • Frome impress against higher league Salisbury

Pre-season friendly: Saturday 25th July
Frome Town 3-0 Salisbury City

Frome Town delivered another victory in pre-season, this time against higher league opposition in Salisbury, as they ran out 3-0 winners in front of the Badgers Hill faithful.

Brian Dutton’s side fashioned a good chance to open the scoring ten minutes into the game when a cross came in from the left searching for Jaiden Bartolo but Kyle Phillips was very quick off his line to gather the ball.

The first Frome chance came in the 20th minute after a great ball from George Dowling to find Zack Ali down the left. The full-back continued his run into the box and his effort was a whisker past the far post. 

Salisbury then hit the bar with a Harry Thomas header from a corner before the hosts opened the scoring two minutes before half-time. It was Archie Ferris with a neat pass into Zac Drew down the right and the number 10 showed great composure to poke the ball past Will Henry in goal to give the Dodge the lead going into the break.

  • Residents rally to save 300-year-old pub

Local residents are rallying to save a historic pub in East Woodlands, which has been at the centre of village life for generations.

The Horse and Groom closed in 2020 during the Covid pandemic.

The newly formed Friends of the Horse and Groom group is seeking Asset of Community Value (ACV) status through Somerset Council, which would give the community an opportunity to explore buying the pub. 

The pub was run for around 20 years by Rick Squire, known as Rickie, and his partner Kathy Barrett. In March 2020, Rick suffered multiple strokes after becoming seriously ill during an evening service and died two weeks later. Following his death and the pressures created by the pandemic, Kathy made the decision to close the pub.
