Famed football manager and ‘King Of The Jungle’ Harry Redknapp is coming to Frome!

KING of the Jungle and top football manager Harry Redknapp will be making a very special intimate appearance at The Cheese and Grain on Thursday 13th June, regaling us with stories from his hugely successful career in football and TV.   

Hailed as one the funniest and most entertaining talk shows on the circuit, this is the perfect show for football fans! Expect a hilarious evening; Harry is a great raconteur and has a wealth of side-splitting stories!

One of the very few former professional English footballers who go on to become successful football managers of top-flight Premier League clubs, he won the FA Cup with Portsmouth and took Spurs into the Champions League.

He also managed Southampton, Bournemouth, West Ham and Birmingham City and named ‘Manager of the Season’ in 2009/2010 while manager at Spurs. Harry’s ability to be a winner continued into retirement when he was crowned ‘King Of The Jungle”, winning ITV’s hit TV series, ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ in 2018.

Harry has gone on to publish several books, including the self-titled No.1 Sunday Times Best Seller, ‘Harry, My Autobiography’. He has maintained a colourful career over six decades, making way for one of the most interesting and entertaining sporting talks on the live theatre circuit.

There will be an opportunity to ask Harry questions in an audience Q&A at the end of the evening. Tickets, including limited VIP meet-and-greet tickets, are available on the Cheese and Grain website at www.cheeseandgrain.com. Doors at 7pm. For more details, visit The Cheese and Grain Facebook page or website.

  • Puppini Sisters to mark 20 years with Cheese & Grain show

The Puppini Sisters will celebrate their 20th anniversary with a special performance at the Cheese & Grain in Frome on Saturday, 23rd May.

Known for their ‘close harmonies, corsets and clever covers’, the trio were formed by Bologna-born Marcella Puppini at London’s Trinity College of Music. They made their breakthrough with debut album Betcha Bottom Dollar in 2006, which became the fastest-selling jazz debut in UK chart history.

“From festival stages to royal soirées, they have dazzled the world with their retro-glam style and genre-bending swing,” said Rob Dahl from the Cheese & Grain. “The world’s leading queens of vocal harmony, their sassy swing take on everything from Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy to Heart of Glass won over fans from Michael Bublé to King Charles.

“Their signature style, part Vivienne Westwood, part burlesque, helped spark the vintage revival.’

“Corsets were essential,” said Marcella. “We could see vintage booming, but even I didn’t expect it to get this big.”

  • Long-standing fete cancelled for second year

An annual fete which has raised funds for charity for more than 50 years has been cancelled for a second consecutive year.

The Frome Lions Club’s free family fun day was due to take place in June at Victoria Park. However, organisers said they have had to cancel the event again because key events and stallholders have dropped out.

Lion Mike Geake said, “We do not consider it viable to hold the event this year and have not taken this decision lightly.”

The long-running fete was also cancelled last year, following a request from Frome Town Council that participants do not leave vehicles in the park during events.

  • New studio takes working out to new heights with bungee fitness

A new fitness studio is turning exercise on its head - quite literally. 

Velocity Bungee Fitness, based at Norbeck Enterprise Centre, Warminster offers classes using suspended bungee rigs that allow participants to jump, glide and exercise with reduced impact on their joints.

“The idea came from a desire to bring something genuinely different to the local fitness scene,” said owner Stacey Holborow. “It’s fun, inclusive and accessible to people who might not feel at home in a traditional gym.”

Stacey opened the studio after trying bungee fitness herself.

“After experiencing bungee fitness firsthand and seeing how empowering it could be, I knew it was something worth bringing to the local area,” she said.

“You’re harnessed to a bungee cord suspended from purpose-built rigging, which supports your weight and allows you to jump, glide and move in ways you simply can’t on the ground.

  • Players prepare for 24-hour charity ‘bowl-a-thon’

Two members of a Frome bowls club will be rolling up their sleeves – and rolling out their bowls – for a 24-hour marathon in aid of the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.

Frome Selwood Bowling Club’s Ladies’ Captain Kathy Kingman and Club Secretary Mike Bishop will play two back-to-back 12-hour bowls sessions on 23rd and 24th May, running from 9am to 9pm.

Spectators and supporters are invited to attend throughout the weekend to support the pair or have a go at playing bowls on the club’s spare rinks, with a suggested donation to the fundraising pot.

Kathy said, “We’re thrilled to be taking on this challenge for such an important local charity. We’d love to see the community come out and support us whether that’s cheering us on, buying a raffle ticket or picking up a bowl and giving it a try.”

  • Frome through to Regional play-offs

Frome Netball Report: 
Frome Stars vs Lawn 
County Playoffs - 26th April 

Frome are through to the Regional play-offs after defeating Lawn, league winners of the other Wiltshire league.

Held in Swindon, we arrived early, settling ourselves courtside and got straight down to business.  Our starting seven came out all guns blazing, gave their all and were taking no prisoners.

Outstanding shooting from GA Liv and GS Nat and, with so much pressure, they came out and delivered. Incredible mid court, from WA Laura, supported in the last quarter by Ella and C Han, delivering balls into the shooting circle with patience and speed, not to mention incredible defence back down the court. And finally WD Gi, GD Freya and GK Lucy working like an unstoppable unit to delay, confuse and regain possession.

With a final score of 45 – 27 Frome will go on to their next and final challenge in a bid to become a Regional 3 team.
