Young musicians from Frome College and Selwood Academy will fill Frome Town Centre with music once again on Saturday 13th June, with the return of Frome Busks.
From 11am to 2pm, the musicians will work their way around amplified and acoustic stages around the town centre, including Boyle Cross, the Cheese and Grain and Catherine Hill, playing 15-minute live music sets.
Frome College music teacher Josh Hampson, who organises the event in partnership with Frome Town Council, said, “We’ve got a really vibrant music department with loads of performers. It’s a big deal for a 14-year-old to come out in public and play and sing – events like this are so important in building confidence.
“This event also gets the youth of Frome seen in a positive light, out in public, doing something really impressive. It’s not just good for musicians; A-Level music tech students will also gain technical experience by setting up the event. And it raises funds for the music department, so we can provide more opportunities for young musicians, buy equipment and make music accessible for all students. Thanks to the team at Frome Town Council for supporting us to run the event again this year.”
Any funds raised at Frome Busks will go towards extracurricular music performances, equipment and productions for Frome College students.
Cllr Sara Butler said, “Frome has a vibrant live music scene and it’s great to have our local schools encouraging the talent of the next generation of musicians and providing opportunities for them to perform live – and for us to listen.”
