Frome Consort will perform at St. John’s Church on Saturday 8th July at 7.30pm, as part of the Frome Festival.

Formed in 2016 to perform the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, Vivaldi, Handel and their contemporaries, previous Frome Consort concerts at St John’s Church have attracted large audiences.

One of the organisers of the event Jacquelyn Bevan said, “The group, whose lively performances of Baroque concertos on modern instruments have been described as ‘thrilling’ will play Bach’s Double Concerto in C minor for Violin and Oboe (soloists Ruth O’Shea and James Watts) and the Concerto for Solo Violin in E major (soloist Lucy Hewson, leader of the Pump Room Trio); two flute concertos by Vivaldi (soloist Leslie Sheills) and a rarely-heard gem by Telemann: the Chamber Concerto for Recorder, Oboe and Violin in A minor.”

Tickets are available from Frome Festival Box Office at the Cheese & Grain, 01373 455 420 or call 07595 671116

  • ‘It’s getting tougher for all small charities’ – Frome Birth Talk extends community fundraising campaign until end of year

Local charity Frome Birth Talk has extended its fundraising campaign until the end of the year as it seeks to secure more monthly donors to help secure the charity’s future.

The campaign launched in March, with the charity aiming to raise £1,000 per month in regular donations to help cover running costs until 1st June. With that date now passed and £700 secured, the charity has decided to keep the fundraiser open until the end of year, in the hope to secure more donors and ultimately Frome Birth Talk’s future.

“We are extremely thankful for our one-off donations but it’s really helpful for us to see a projection of what is to come,” said counselling coordinator Lucy Hill who explained that the charity is hoping to increase the amount of people who can donate on a monthly basis.

“It’s getting harder and harder to guarantee grants, so to have a community of people who are supporting us regularly is incredibly helpful.”

  • Successful Climate Film Festival sees 100 international entries 

The fourth annual International Climate Film Festival has been hailed a huge success as over 1,150 films from 100 countries around the world were submitted to be shown at the two-day event.

The festival ran on 18th May at the Cheese and Grain, and on 25th May at Rook Lane Chapel, where there was an Award Celebration Day. The festival also included a special launch of local director Charly Le Marchant’s latest film, Ancient Woodland Restoration, with a panel at Frome Town Council on 22nd May.

Festival director James Godman said, “The festival provided an opportunity for people to meet local green community groups like the Frome Wardrobe Collective and enabled visitors to enjoy music from local musicians, including Sue Harding and Francis Hayden; to get creative with eco-art and face painting; to learn about solar green technology and, this year, to listen to a thought leaders panel which included our local MP Anna Sabine, Diana Finch, author of Value Beyond Money, Matt Mellen, the Climate Action lead at Frome Town Council, Amanda Le Pivert – Earth House at Frome College, Rachael Wells from the Bath Climate Hub and many more inspiring panellists.”

A rare collection of work by acclaimed Frome artist, Corinna Sargood, is set to go to auction later this month.
