Frome Ukulele Club is running their first Frome Ukulele Festival on Saturday 23rd March – with proceeds going to Fair Frome and Frome’s Missing Link.
The day has two main parts – from 12 noon those who are Ukulele Festival-goers congregate at Rook Lane Chapel for an afternoon of workshops, an Open Mic and a Battle of The Bands. Tickets for this are only available on line at fromeukulelefestival.org
In the evening, however, the action switches to The Cheese and Grain – and regular supporters of The Mighty Frukes can purchase tickets just for the evening concert – either online or from The River House, or from any member of Frome Ukulele Club.
The evening starts at 6pm and will see the final of Battle of The Bands, then performances from In Sync, bringing beautiful harmonies from Yeovil, and Andy Dan, making the trek all the way from South Wales. Following next will be Opera-lele, two classically trained opera singers who combine classic songs with classic ukulele – not to be missed. Finally, The Mighty Frukes conclude the evening with a party set that promises lots of new songs and should end by 10.30 pm.
Tickets for the Festival (including the evening concert) are £16 for an adult (£8 for children) while tickets for the evening concert are just £10 (£5 child) although the Cheese and Grain are also providing “street food” for just £5 (this must be booked in advance.) Tickets for adults, children and for the food are all available from The River House or online at fromeukulelefestival .org
